The Oxford Seed Fund is excited to announce our first investment of the year, HealthDart!

Launched in 2021, HealthDart (www.healthdart.co.za) is a South African startup that uses a digital-first approach to helping African middle-market consumers find the quickest and cheapest way to solve basic health issues.

The founding team, CEO Njabulo Skhosana, CPO Tshwanelo Matsane (Oxford MBA 2020), and CTO Yauvan Hansraj have already achieved great results in less than 2 years.

We’re very excited to participate in HealthDart’s pre-seed round and look forward to seeing their exponential growth!
