Why we invested
Acute pain, unique flywheel, and accelerating momentum
- 01Acute Pain
A growing shortage of licensed dental professionals created operational and financial strain for practices nationwide, creating an opportunity to build the category leader.
- 02Unique Flywheel
GoTu's marketplace created powerful network effects between practices and professionals. Its differentiated approach laid the foundation for the industry's first Dual Model across 1099 and W-2.
- 03Accelerating Momentum
Strong adoption from both dental offices and professionals, expanding marketplace liquidity, and growing enterprise interest signaled category-defining potential.
“It's refreshing to collaborate with someone who sees beyond just writing a check – they've opened doors we didn't even know existed and their impact on our growth has been tangible since the outset. I'm not sure of any other VC that shares their ability to help us with talent recruitment.”
