Clafiya, a Nigerian health tech startup, has raised $610,000 in a pre-seed round of funding to help with product development and staff expansion.
Investors including Norrsken Accelerator, Acquired Wisdom Fund (AWF), Hustle Fund, Voltron Capital, Microtraction, Ajim Capital, HoaQ, Bold Angel Fund, Shivdasani Family, and other angel investors made contributions to the funding, which was a combination of grants, angel investments, and venture capital funds.
Clafiya launched in 2021 and has since expanded to both Lagos and Enugu. The startup links people in need of medical care with doctors and nurses so that they can get it without having to travel for appointments or take time off work.
The platform makes it easier for patients to receive their medications at their doorsteps, reducing the need for tiresome treks to the pharmacy.
The start-up offers comprehensive healthcare services that also include easy diagnostic testing sample collection from patients’ homes.
Users can find gyms, nutritionists, wellness centers, and other specialized well-being services through Clafiya.
The company generates revenue from the services it offers to more than 3,000 people and hundreds of enterprises, who utilize it to provide health insurance to their staff.
The startup also benefits financially from its partnerships with pharmacies, clinics, and wellness companies.
“Our initial goal was to bring healthcare closer to those who preferred avoiding hospitals. The CEO of Clafiya, Jennie Nwokoye, said, However, as our customers started requesting assistance with drug delivery, diagnostics, and mental health services, we evolved into an online primary healthcare clinic,”.
The startup’s revenue has increased by 15% month over month.
