Suvretta Capital Management, a New York-based hedge fund manager, and Avidity Partners, a Dallas-based investment firm, led a $30m round in connectRN, a platform that connects nurses and CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) with flexible work opportunities, with participation from HBM Healthcare Investments, Infinitum Asset Management, Adage Capital Management, Cormorant Asset Management, Park West Asset Management, and Amedisys. “There has been a tremendous need for connectRN’s solution for nurse staffing. This need was magnified, and became painfully apparent, during the pandemic. Nurses and healthcare workers deserve a central place where they can connect, engage and find competitive career opportunities,” Amanda Birdsey-Benson, Suvretta Capital Management Analyst.
