Africa's Preventative Health System

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building a platform focused on preventative healthcare in Africa. Our product helps users manage and track their health proactively to avoid costly and late-stage treatments. This includes tools for health monitoring, early risk detection, and connecting users with preventative services locally.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in Lagos, LA, Nigeria and will remain based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We chose Lagos because it is our home and the largest healthcare market in West Africa. Being on the ground allows us to understand local challenges deeply and build a product suited for the African healthcare context.
