Today is a special day for us as we announce our $610,000 pre-seed raise in furtherance of our mission to bring healthcare services to the communities that need it the most.
We are delighted to be backed by world-class investors including Norrsken Accelerator, Acquired Wisdom Fund (AWF), Hustle Fund, Voltron Capital, Microtraction, Ajim Capital, HoaQ, Bold Angel Fund, Shivdasani Family, and other visionary angel investors.
Clafiya was born from my personal experience as a child. Witnessing my family’s struggle to access quality healthcare in Nigeria ignited a relentless drive for change. That experience planted the seed of Clafiya, as we know it today, in my heart, from a very young age.
Starting from Enugu, we have offered affordable and quality healthcare services to Nigerians and since then expanded to other cities in Nigeria such as Lagos and Abuja. Similarly, we have grown our team to 24 talented people working to reimagine what healthcare service delivery could look like in Nigeria.
Witnessing the positive impact that we have had on numerous lives reaffirms our commitment and fuels our determination to do more.
Fixing healthcare in Nigeria, also makes sense commercially, as we have also grown our revenue by 15%. In 2018, the Nigerian healthcare market was valued at $15 billion with an expected growth rate of 20% over the next five years.
With the pre-seed funding, we are:
– Introducing a business platform that allows well-meaning businesses to purchase health plans for their employees to keep their productivity levels high.
– Expanding our reach and partnerships to even more cities in Nigeria and operational partners
– Hiring great minds and talent, to build an amazing healthcare company that will change the way we access and receive healthcare
We hope you will join us as we reimagine healthcare service delivery in Nigeria, and then for the rest of Africa.
