Traction Capital Invests in Kwikly Dental Staffing

Traction Capital is excited to announce its first investment of Focus Fund I in Kwikly Dental Staffing. The fund has invested $250,000 in the Minneapolis based company whose platform provides on-demand staffing for dental professionals.

Kwikly was founded in 2017 by Pedram Nastaean and Yomiyu Hirpa. The company offers a mobile platform that connects dental hygienists seeking temporary employment with dental offices facing staffing shortages. Kwikly has achieved impressive growth and Traction Capital foresees increasingly aggressive growth as it expands into new markets.

Operating under the mission of helping entrepreneurs in the Upper Midwest grow, Traction Capital is very excited to be investing in a Minnesota company that also has two minority founders.
