SAN FRANCISCO, September 14, 2022 \u2013 <\/strong>Vivian Health, an IAC (NASDAQ: IAC<\/a>) company and the leading healthcare jobs marketplace serving healthcare professionals first, today announced an agreement with Lume, a banking platform for healthcare workers, which allows Vivian to leverage Lume\u2019s technology to create new banking and financial services for the more than 800,000 registered clinicians on the Vivian platform.<\/p>\n

As part of the agreement, Lume co-founders Christopher Chang and Shantanu Joshi will join Vivian Health to lead product and engineering efforts focusing on developing new financial products and value-added services that directly benefit healthcare professionals, furthering Vivian\u2019s mission of building the most aligned solution for America\u2019s healthcare workers.<\/p>\n

“Chris and Shantanu\u2019s entrepreneurial energy, passion for building products which truly serve those who serve others, and Lume\u2019s core technology offering will significantly accelerate Vivian\u2019s ability to provide millions of healthcare professionals the most candidate-centric experience in healthcare hiring,\u201d said Parth Bhakta, co-founder and CEO of Vivian Health. \u201cChris and Shantanu will help build the foundation of Vivian\u2019s rewards and loyalty offering to healthcare professionals, and they will ultimately help retain more of America\u2019s healthcare workforce in an era of persistent staff shortages and a shrinking labor force. The Lume team knows firsthand the unique challenges and barriers that healthcare workers face today, and together, we are poised to create better experiences, fundamentally aligned with clinicians\u2019 interests, that can ultimately help alleviate systemic staff shortages in healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 2019 and backed by Y-Combinator, Lume is a new kind of banking experience built from the ground up for nurses and those working in the healthcare industry. Lume features such as on-demand pay, student loan and debt refinancing, and personalized job recommendations are all designed to help healthcare workers live better lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was clear ever since our first meeting with Parth that we were both on a mission to build a best-in-class experience for clinicians and we aligned on a strategy to do that. It very much felt like a natural partnership,\u201d said Mr. Chang.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving previously run a healthcare staffing firm ourselves, we were already deeply familiar with Vivian\u2019s customers, product offerings, and vision. We’re incredibly excited to hit the ground running by bringing banking and financial products to every nurse on the Vivian platform,\u201d added Mr. Joshi.<\/p>\n

As the first jobs marketplace built for healthcare professionals, Vivian offers healthcare employers nationwide, including both staffing agencies and large health systems, a fast and effective way to fill a variety of healthcare jobs across permanent roles, per-diem shifts, local contracts, and travel positions. Vivian has seen significant adoption among healthcare professionals, with over 800,000 registered clinicians using its jobs marketplace. Much of this growth has come through organic channels and word-of-mouth. Vivian Health recently announced a $60 million equity investment led by Thoma Bravo, a leading software investment firm, with participation from IAC and Collaborative Fund, to further accelerate its growth.<\/p>\n
