Describe what your company does in 50 characters or less.

Affordable, accessible healthcare in emerging markets

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

We built a platform that combines affordable health insurance, telemedicine, and a network of partner and proprietary healthcare facilities tailored for emerging markets. Our product allows users to get quality healthcare services at a price they can afford, addressing the gap in healthcare access and cost in countries like Nigeria and Egypt.

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

We live in Lagos, Nigeria, and Austin, Texas. After YC, the company would be based in Lagos with a strong presence in Austin to cover our US operations and technical development.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Lagos is our core market and where the biggest healthcare access challenges are. Austin provides access to US talent and investor networks. Keeping both lets us stay connected to users and maintain strong operational and technical hubs.
