About Livo

Livo is a Barcelona-based healthtech company whose digital platform connects hospitals and care centers with qualified nurses and other healthcare professionals to cover shifts, fill structural vacancies and manage internal staffing. Its product suite spans Livo Pool for on-demand shift coverage, Livo Offers for permanent recruitment and Livo Internal for staff scheduling and workforce management, using proprietary technology and AI to verify professionals, automate planning and match supply to demand within hours rather than weeks. The company competes in the healthcare workforce and staffing-marketplace segment, positioning itself against the acute nursing shortage across European health systems by offering flexibility to professionals and fill-rate certainty to institutions. According to its own disclosures, the platform has been adopted by more than 200 healthcare centers, has covered over 52,000 shifts across 26 medical specialties and reports shift coverage typically achieved in under 24 hours.

Ownership journey

Livo was founded in Barcelona in 2023 by Adnane Ouahabi and Carlos Manubens on the premise that outdated, manual processes leave nursing shifts unfilled while professionals lack flexible work. In 2023 the company was backed by Cusp Capital Partners, investing through its Cusp Capital Fund I, which frames the business around relieving healthcare labor shortages and giving nurses scheduling autonomy while giving hospitals staffing efficiency. Livo subsequently gathered a wider group of venture backers, including KFund, Lanai Ventures, SNR and Yellow, as it built out its platform and commercial footprint. Cusp Capital remains an active venture shareholder and Livo is still listed as a current portfolio company; no exit or secondary transaction has been recorded.

Under PE ownership

The venture capital was earmarked for product development, verification technology and commercial expansion, and since the investment Livo has broadened from shift matching into a fuller workforce suite spanning temporary coverage, permanent hiring and internal staff management. It has extended beyond its Spanish base toward other European markets, adding multi-language support across Spanish, Catalan, English, Italian and Polish. Commercial traction has reached more than 200 healthcare centers and over 52,000 shifts covered across 26 specialties, with the company citing fill rates above 85 percent at some centers and management-time reductions of roughly 60 percent, per its own disclosures. The mobile application, which layers accredited clinical training and professional tools on top of shift access, is rated 4.8 stars in its app-store listing.
