Dr. Iman Abuzeid is a force.

And I mean that in the best possible way.

Her company, Incredible Health, reached unicorn status in 2022, being valued at $1.65B after raising an $80M Series B round of funding.

As of this year, 1 in 4 nurses in the United States are using her platform, which helps more than 700 hospitals hire permanent nurses in less than 20 days, a 4x improvement over the 82-day national average.

Of course, it’s been a journey for Iman to get to this point.

Not only going through a big pivot early on but overcoming the appalling fact that 1% of venture capital funding goes to black founders with just a fraction of that going to black women.

But as I mentioned, Iman is a force, and you’re about to learn why.

After interviewing her in 2020 and seeing her continued progress since, I’m so excited to share her story with you.

Let’s get to it.
