The Big Story

Long-term care planning is often overlooked until it becomes a pressing need, which is usually too late for many. Personally, I’ve witnessed the struggles faced by my family members in securing quality long-term care, making the subject resonate deeply with me. This realization piqued my interest when I explored a startup utilizing AI to aid families in navigating long-term care planning.

Founded in late 2021 by Lily Vittayarukskul, Nenuphar emerged from the urgent financial struggles her family faced while caring for her aunt diagnosed with terminal colon cancer. The startup leverages artificial intelligence to forecast the future needs and costs associated with long-term care, empowering families to devise care plans and financial strategies.

Vittayarukskul’s journey began as a solo venture until she partnered with Ehrenberg, an early investor acquainted with the intricacies of healthcare. After being amazed by the platform’s predictive capabilities, Ehrenberg transformed his personal health regimen, reflecting the profound impact of the technology. By 2022, he joined Nenuphar as a co-founder, enhancing its mission.

Funding and Growth

Moove, a mobility fintech from Africa, is making waves by providing vehicle financing options for drivers. Recently, it expanded its footprint by acquiring Kovi, a Brazilian urban mobility service, boosting its annual revenue potential to $275 million. Last March, Moove reported a noteworthy revenue of $115 million.

In another development, Dialing has created a modular platform likened to Amazon Web Services, allowing clients to access various services more efficiently. They recently secured $21 million in a funding round co-led by Paypal Ventures and Portage.

Swan, a French banking startup, successfully raised €42 million (approximately $44 million), marking the second tranche of its Series B funding initially announced in September 2023.

Cedar Money has also closed a $9.9 million seed funding round, spearheaded by QED Investors. Launched in early 2024 and operational in Nigeria, it serves as a bridge for cross-border payments using stablecoins.

The Guinean fintech Cauridor recently obtained $3.5 million in startup financing, aimed at enhancing its payment rails to facilitate fund transfers for traders, banks, telecommunication firms, and money transfer companies across Africa.
