Kevala, a healthcare staff scheduling platform for both internal and external workers, announced a $12.1 million Series A funding round.

Seattle-based Kevala is a staff scheduling platform that enables healthcare employers to schedule shifts for both internal and external agency workers, curate float pools and manage healthcare workers’ credentialing.

“The staffing crisis has made it difficult if not impossible for schedulers to keep shifts full, compliant and productive,” Co-Founder and CEO Todd Owens said. “Healthcare operators, stretched thin and unable to rely on permanent staff alone, are looking for more flexible staffing options, including agency and internal float teams.”

The Series A round was led by Cercano Management with participation from existing investors Costanoa Ventures, High Alpha and PSL Ventures.
