Congrats on your launch. So do you hire or contract with actual providers to go into homes?

We contract with the health professionals who go in-home (phlebotomists, medical assistants, LVN/LPN, and RN)

How do these professionals make a living today? What are they leaving to do Axle instead?
Also, a bit meta, but are you giving them benefits (e.g. health insurance)?

Currently we use health professional contracting agencies to source our health professionals. Some of these professionals do contracting as a side hustle while their w2 employment is with a hospital or clinic. Others only work part-time to supplement family income, and some do it full-time. Health professionals who work for these contracting agencies on a full-time basis do generally receive health insurance and other benefits through the agency.

I attempted a startup in a similar space.
One big opportunity for us was the flexibility and more relaxed work-style. Working in hospital is stressful and it just burns a lot of people out. For example, in the nursing population, there are a lot of semi-retired nurses who actively maintain their licensing, but do not want to work full time in a hospital.
