GoTu

Miami-based GoTu Technology (formerly TempMee), the leading dental talent marketplace in the U.S., has secured a $45 million growth investment led by Long Ridge Equity Partners, with participation from JPMorganChase & Co. The capital will support GoTu's nationwide expansion, accelerate development of its marketplace platform, and fuel the launch of new, innovative services that meet the evolving needs of dental practices across the U.S. The dental industry faces an acute shortage of hygienists and assistants, making flexible staffing solutions critical to maintaining access to care. Since launching in 2019, GoTu has become the largest technology-enabled platform in the dental staffing market. Its on-demand marketplace connects hygienists, assistants, and associate dentists with dental practices to fill temporary shifts in real time – improving flexibility, reliability, and efficiency for both professionals and practices. "In the fragmented landscape of dental workforce solutions, GoTu stands out for its nationwide reach, its enterprise-grade platform, and its high satisfaction among both dental offices and professionals," said Kevin Bhatt, Long Ridge Managing Partner. "We are excited to support the GoTu team as they scale their market-leading platform through geographic expansion, product innovation, and strategic partnerships." Since its founding, GoTu has filled more than 500,000 dental shifts across 44 states and Washington D.C. The platform gives dental practices seamless access to verified professionals through a technology-driven experience, while giving clinicians the flexibility and control to work on their own terms. "With dental offices nationwide struggling to recruit and retain qualified staff, this investment allows us to scale our impact," said Ed Thomas, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of GoTu. "We're proud of how far we've come, but this is only the beginning. Partnering with Long Ridge enables us to expand access to our platform, invest further in product innovation, and continue building the go-to resource for the dental industry." GoTu's growth has earned national recognition. That recognition includes consecutive Inc. 5000 honors (2024 and 2025) and inclusion in Deloitte's Technology Fast 500. Cary Gahm, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of GoTu, added, "This new milestone validates the vision we've pursued since day one: creating flexible, empowering opportunities for dental professionals while providing practices with the talent they need to thrive. Long Ridge shares our belief that the future of staffing lies at the intersection of technology and human connection – and together we're creating the workforce infrastructure that will redefine how dentistry works." Founded in 2007, Long Ridge manages over $1.75 billion of committed capital. Source: GoTu 🔔 Follow me (Sina S.
