Company
New Incentives
Cash transfers that save lives.
We run cash transfer programs that pay Nigerian mothers directly to immunize their infants. Our product verifies immunization events and delivers a simple, direct financial incentive to overcome barriers to vaccination. The goal is to increase immunization rates in underserved communities to reduce infant mortality.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco has the mix of talent and support we need for fundraising and scaling impact. We lead the project here while our on-ground teams run operations in Nigeria.
