Founders Factory Africa (FFA), the corporate-backed tech accelerator and incubator based in Johannesburg has partnered with Netcare, SA’s top healthcare provider to invest in and accelerate 35 startups from across Africa.

According to Roo Rogers, Co-Founder and CEO of Founders Factory Africa: “We are incredibly proud to partner with Netcare. Together we will unlock groundbreaking opportunities in accessing affordable healthcare. We will deliver digitised healthcare solutions and contribute to spearheading Africa’s innovation in healthcare. The time, the opportunity, and the need is now, for driving Africa’s health-tech to improve the lives of millions of people.”

Founders Factory Africa and Netcare will take the startups through a six-month programme to help them build completely new businesses focused on addressing key health issues on the continent.

FFA’s pool of talent will help startups work on product development, UX/UI, engineering, investment, business development and growth marketing.

Netcare will provide access to hospitals, primary healthcare clinics and healthcare value chains, deep health technical expertise, data and IP to the startups. Netcare will also have the opportunity to continue investing in the new health businesses once their value propositions are proven.

Richard Friedland, CEO of the Netcare Group, says: “We are proud to be joining Founders Factory Africa in creating a support system for entrepreneurs which will help them grow innovative healthcare businesses and will provide value to people across Africa, while also unlocking future investment opportunities for Netcare.”
