Trusted, Inc. is the leading labor marketplace and workforce management platform for the healthcare industry.
The company was founded in 2017 with a focus on the largest profession in healthcare: nursing. Since then, theyve taken a process that has been dominated by recruiters and phone calls and turned that into a a fully digital experience, connecting nurses directly to job opportunities and facilitating everything that needs to happen in between—including handling benefits, payroll, onboarding, and compliance. Their platform also provides full employer-of-record services for employers in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
In 2020, they launched their proprietary staffing platform, Works (www.works.ai). Works helps hospitals meet one of their single biggest challenges: ensuring that every shift gets filled in an environment where both demand for healthcare services and the cost of labor are increasing exponentially. With Works, facilities can create their own on-demand nursing workforce and access one source of truth for all of their clinical workforce needs, from sourcing and onboarding to ongoing compliance. With predictive insights and recommendations, Works helps hospitals easily react to fluctuations in demand, while its staffing marketplace creates competition to fill open job requisitions with high-quality, active talent from a pre-onboarded network of talent suppliers.
The company has support from top institutional investors such as Craft Ventures, Felicis Ventures, StepStone Group and Founder Collective, as well as healthcare innovators like Texas Medical Center, Mercy Health, Intermountain Ventures, Town Hall Ventures, and Healthbox. In 2020, they were featured on Forbes Next Billion Dollar Startups List.

The Challenge:
67% of American women wear sizes 14+—that’s 100 million women. Yet this majority is systematically underserved by the retail industry. The plus size community faces paltry options, unwelcoming environments, and a lack of representation—all adding up to a disappointing experience with style.
Our Vision:
Style freedom through a life well-lived
The Dia & Co Solution:
Dia & Co is the only retail service dedicated to meeting the plus size community’s full range of style needs. We’re applying the best of data and technology to serve women who have been ignored for far too long—from developing the shopping experiences she’s always wanted, to building community platforms that inspire her, to ensuring she sees herself represented in the world around her.
Our Approach — Representative Retail:
Dia & Co is a company built around a customer, not a business model. Our community leads the way, and we meet their unique needs by creating products and experiences across three comprehensive areas of service:
Commerce:
Curated access to the best-fitting Style and Active apparel (led
by Dia & Co’s beloved owned brands), fully equipping her to express herself through style. Customized shopping experiences to remove the stress around fit, for a joyful and fabulous experience.
Community:
Platforms to foster deep connections between members both of offline and online, offering a place for her to be celebrated and to celebrate others through style.
Change:
Campaigns to create lasting change by combating stereotypes and biases. Advocacy to increase representation of our community outside the Dia ecosystem, so she can see herself reflected in style.
