A prestigious honor within the financial community, the award recognizes the most innovative and impactful companies in Utah

The Association for Corporate Growth Utah (ACG Utah), a leading middle-market networking community, has recognized Nursa – a nationwide platform that exists to put a nurse at the bedside of every patient in need – as winner of its Growth Equity Deal of the Year award. The award recognizes innovative and exceptional companies across a variety of sectors that have had impactful transactions in Utah, with Nursa’s growth equity investment, significant market potential, and impact on the healthcare landscape earning the Salt Lake City-based company this distinction.

“We are thrilled to honor exceptional companies and their remarkable transactions,” said Rob McGee, VP of Awards, for ACG Utah and Senior Vice President at Zions Bank. “Each award winner exemplifies excellence in their respective fields and demonstrates the power of innovation and strategic thinking in driving successful deals.”

In 2023, Nursa closed an $80 million Series B funding raise led by Drive Capital and joined by existing partners Pelion and Kickstart. Since then, the company has focused on diversifying its executive expertise and expanded the number of facilities and clinicians that use the platform to further address the industry’s rising financial and nursing deficits.

“Four years ago, we set out to address the nurse staffing shortage by giving nurses the flexibility they require to remain in the profession while supporting the staffing needs of healthcare facilities, all through innovative technology,” said Curtis Anderson, Nursa founder and CEO. “In just a short period, we’ve exponentially grown the number of clinicians and facilities that use the Nursa platform, which means more patients are getting the care they need. This recognition is truly an honor and affirms the important work that’s being done.”
