TempMee

What TempMee does

TempMee, doing business as GoTu, operates a two-sided dental talent marketplace that connects dental professionals with dental offices for temporary and permanent staffing. The platform serves individual practitioners — dental hygienists, dental assistants, associate dentists, and front desk staff — alongside dental practices ranging from independent offices to multi-site Dental Service Organizations. Operations span all 50 U.S. states, with reported scale of 200,000+ professionals, 45,000+ offices, and 500,000+ cumulative shifts worked.

The product suite is anchored by a mobile-first marketplace accessible via iOS and Android applications and dual web properties at gotu.com and dental.gotu.com, with category-specific entry points for each dental role. Beyond the core shift marketplace, the company offers permanent Recruitment Services, an ROI Calculator for offices, and a dedicated DSO Solutions product. Go-to-market is self-serve / product-led with no disclosed direct sales force; marketing relies on content, social media, referrals, and app-store distribution. Revenue is generated through marketplace transaction fees on shifts, replacing traditional dental temp-agency markups with a direct matching model. The company is headquartered in Miami, Florida, is privately held, and has disclosed a single $3.2 million funding round from Roo Capital in February 2022.

Revenue model

1. Marketplace Transaction Fees: GoTu operates as a staffing marketplace, likely taking a commission or platform fee on shifts worked. The platform eliminates traditional agency markups, suggesting it charges dental offices a platform fee or takes a percentage of shift payments instead of the high markups associated with traditional staffing agencies.

Direct peers

• Instawork: Instawork is a marketplace app for hourly shift work (hospitality, warehouse, healthcare). It is a direct peer on the marketplace/platform model and PLG motion but lacks TempMee's dental vertical depth.
• Gale Healthcare Solutions: Gale is a healthcare shift marketplace that pays clinicians within days of a shift, a very similar technology-enabled staffing model to TempMee, focused on nursing rather than dental.
• Vivian Health: Vivian Health is a healthcare staffing marketplace where clinicians find travel, per diem, and permanent roles — overlapping TempMee in marketplace mechanics and shift-based hiring, though broader clinical.
• Clipboard Health: Clipboard Health operates a two-sided marketplace for nursing facilities and clinicians, a near-identical marketplace/PLG model with similar unit economics to TempMee, but serving skilled nursing rather than dental.
• CareRev: CareRev runs a marketplace app connecting local healthcare professionals (nurses, techs, assistants) to per diem shifts at hospitals and clinics — the same self-serve, PLG marketplace model as TempMee, applied to hospital systems rather than dental offices.
• ShiftKey: ShiftKey is a tech-enabled healthcare shift marketplace that lets nurses and allied professionals book shifts directly with facilities, the closest direct analog to TempMee's two-sided dental model — only operating across broader healthcare rather than dental vertical.

Broad incumbents

• StaffCare (LocumTenens.com): StaffCare / LocumTenens.com is a long-standing healthcare locum tenens staffing firm that places physicians, CRNAs, and dentists — overlapping TempMee specifically on the dental associate placement side of its recruitment offering.
• AMN Healthcare: AMN Healthcare is the largest U.S. healthcare staffing firm, providing temporary and permanent placement across nursing, allied, and physician roles — a broad incumbent whose traditional-agency model TempMee is actively disrupting via marketplace economics.
• Aya Healthcare: Aya Healthcare is one of the largest U.S. travel and per diem healthcare staffing firms, an incumbent TempMee competes with indirectly in the broader healthcare staffing market.

Emerging players

• Indeed Flex: Indeed Flex is Indeed's hourly shift marketplace, applying the same on-demand PLG staffing model as TempMee but in general hourly verticals (warehouse, retail, hospitality) rather than healthcare.
