Anyi Health, a Nigerian healthtech startup and three Kenyan startups have received $100,000 in exchange for 20% stake from Antler.
The $100,000 investment in Anyi Health and the three Kenyan startups were announced at the maiden edition of Antler’s demo day in Nairobi, Kenya.
According to Antler, over 1250 founders applied to join the inaugural Nairobi demo day. But, only three per cent of those candidates secured a place in the first cohort that started in August 2019.
Meet the startups
Anyi Health-Nigeria
The startup provides a point-of-need credit facility for primary health care. In Nigeria and many other African countries, patients unable to pay their hospital bills are detained in the hospital. This leads to congested hospitals and in the worst case, patients end up sicker than when they arrived at the hospital. Anyi Health aims to solve this through a mobile-based point-of-need credit facility, where patients can apply for credit directly at the hospital. The startup was founded by Amara Muoneke and George Mosomi.
AIfluence-Kenya
A data-driven influencer marketing platform. The startup was founded by two advertising veterans Nelson Aseka, Victor Munya and Arthur Stsepanenka.
ChapChap Go-Kenya
ChapChap provides an ecommerce platform for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) goods, cutting out the middlemen distributors, and providing deep discounts on group buying in a number of FMCG categories. ChapChapGo is founded by Soud Hyder and Amine Aboura.
