About Stepful

Founded in 2021 and headquartered in New York, the company is an AI-powered healthcare staffing platform addressing critical workforce shortages in the industry. Led by founders Carl Madi (formerly of Uber and Handy) and Tressia Hobeika (previously at Udacity and Triplebyte), the team of 45 has demonstrated strong market traction, raising $8M in seed funding in May 2023, followed by a $12M Series A in February 2024 and $31.5M in November 2024. The company leverages its founders' deep expertise in workforce scaling and talent development—Madi managed a $75M P&L and acquired over 100,000 workers, while Hobeika helped reskill and place 200,000+ job seekers in tech roles—to build solutions that combine AI-powered training with staffing capabilities. As a Y Combinator Summer 2021 graduate, the company has quickly established itself as a well-funded player in the healthcare staffing space.
