Ventures Platform, an early-stage startup investor, has backed 3 Nigerian startups including Tambua Health, Brass, and FunnelJoy to help them scale their solutions.
Portfolio companies include Trove, Thank U Cash and MDaaS, and Ventures Platform has now added to its stable with three more investments. The amounts invested are undisclosed.
Tambua Health uses lung sound analysis to transform the diagnosis and treatment of respiratory diseases globally. The company has built a hardware device called the T-sense that generates images of the lungs by detecting the vibrations of sound as air moves in and out of the lungs using sensor arrays put on the back of the patient.
Brass, meanwhile, is a digital bank that provides small and medium businesses with a suite of products and tools designed to help them grow. FunnelJoy is an all- in-one tool designed for digital entrepreneurs, marketers, and creators to help them capture, convert, and engage leads and sell products online.
Ventures Platform partner Kayode Oyewole said the company was proud to be investing throughout the COVID-19 crisis.
“Today, despite the reality of the current COVID-19 pandemic and its far-reaching second and third-order social and economic effects, our convictions haven’t changed as we believe that this pandemic makes a stronger case for investing in innovative startups that are nimble and able to benefit from a boost in user adoption and lower customer education costs as people find new ways to live, work and communicate,” he said.
