Startup continues mission to make mental health care more accessible, empathetic, and culturally relevant
Nigerian digital mental health startup Blueroomcare has landed a follow-on investment of $50,000 from EHA Impact Ventures. The fresh funding reinforces the company’s commitment to improving mental health care access and affordability across Nigeria.
This latest round reflects EHA’s growing confidence in Blueroomcare’s hybrid care model, high user engagement, and expanding national footprint.
Bridging Nigeria’s Mental Health Gap
Founded to address Nigeria’s rising mental health challenges, Blueroomcare connects users—particularly youth and women—with licensed Nigerian therapists via a secure online platform.
With over 20% of Nigerians experiencing mental health issues and less than 10% receiving adequate treatment, Blueroomcare aims to fill the gap by offering therapy that is accessible, affordable, and culturally sensitive.
EHA’s Continued Commitment Surpasses $100K
This latest investment builds on EHA Impact Ventures’ earlier support, which included:
- A $50,000 pre-seed convertible loan
- $30,000 in technical assistance in 2024
EHA’s total support now exceeds $100,000, comprising capital funding, strategic guidance, and system development.
The new funds come in the form of a revenue-based convertible loan, giving Blueroomcare the flexibility needed to scale sustainably.
A Hybrid Care Model That Reflects User Preferences
As part of their collaboration, Blueroomcare has been integrated into the EHA Clinics ecosystem, enabling users to start therapy online and continue in person at clinics in Lagos and Abuja.
This hybrid model resonates with users:
Over 57% of surveyed clients prefer blended therapy, citing trust and continuity as key reasons.
Strategic Focus Areas for New Funding
The $50K investment will support several high-impact initiatives:
- Expanding the therapist network to meet rising demand
- Enhancing AI-powered matching to improve therapist-client compatibility
- Reaching underserved populations in slums, schools, and corporate environments
Blueroomcare also aims to normalize mental health conversations and promote a culture of care rooted in empathy and relevance.
A Vision for the Future
With technology and community partnerships at its core, Blueroomcare is positioning itself as a leading force in reshaping mental health delivery in Nigeria.
The startup’s focus on accessibility, cultural relevance, and blended care models offers a promising pathway toward a more inclusive and supportive mental health ecosystem.
