The oversubscribed round saw participation from various investors, including Norrsken Accelerator, Acquired Wisdom Fund, Hustle Fund, Voltron Capital, and Microtraction, among others. Clafiya aims to use the capital to accelerate its growth, invest in product development, and expand its team.

Clafiya is also targeting the diaspora segment by offering healthcare plans for their loved ones in Nigeria and launching a B2B offering for companies to create health savings accounts for employees to access primary healthcare. The startup has partnered with reputable organizations and has shown significant revenue growth and improved patient life expectancy. It aims to transform healthcare delivery and expand its services within Nigeria and beyond.
