Berry Health, a Ghanaian consumer health platform, has successfully secured $1.6 million in order to democratize access to healthcare in Africa.

The company will first focus on mental health, sexual health, and dermatology.

Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst took the lead in the funding round. 

Reddit COO Jen Wong, Thirty Madison co-founders Demetri Karagas and Steven Gutentag, New York tech lawyers and VCs Ed and Betsy Zimmerman, and former US Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin are among the angel investors in the round. 

Dr. Fredua Akosa, a British-Ghanaian medical professional, public health expert, and former venture capitalist founded the company.

The team also includes a team of skilled clinicians, as well as vice presidents of marketing Lusiana Castiglione (ex-WPP), product management Gaurav Kumar (ex-Instacart), and design Daniel Harvey (ex-Babylon Health).

Paul Murphy, Partner at Lightspeed, stated that “Lightspeed understands what it takes to build a successful technology-based healthcare business in various markets around the world, our experience and longstanding relationship with Fredua, coupled with his unique insights on the gaps that exist for patients across sub-Saharan Africa, made us extremely excited to partner with Berry Health. We can’t wait for Fredua and the team to bring access to world-class healthcare to patients in Africa.”
