Kepple Africa Ventures and Blue Haven back Kenyan healthtech company

TIBU Health, a Kenyan healthtech startup, has successfully raised seed funding from the Blue Haven Initiative and Kepple Africa Ventures.

TIBU leverages its proprietary healthtech logistics platform to connect patients to healthcare professionals and services at a time and location of their choosing. The company is the proprietary owner of two mobile platforms and medical kits designed to replicate the capabilities of a primary outpatient healthcare centre. The platform and tools utilised allow the company to connect patients to healthcare professionals, as well as deliver an increasingly broad suit of services.

Commenting on the investment, Jason-Louis Carmichael, co-founder and CEO of TIBU Health said, “We are really quite thrilled to be working with investors such as Blue Haven and Kepple. They are well respected in the sector and recognised as partners that add quite a bit of value to companies and help them grow. We finally get to invest a bit of money in marketing.”

Proceeds from this round will be used to source local software engineering talent in order to build a globally competitive back-end that focuses on health service logistics, as well as a front-end platform that will allow for a more streamlined user experience. The company will equally be investing the capital for tech-driven sample collection and in-house processing.
