Some of the biggest startup opportunities don’t come from inventing entirely new industries.
They come from rebuilding systems people already rely on — systems that still feel fragmented, inefficient, and outdated despite serving millions globally.
Healthcare access.
Modern relationships.
Sales infrastructure.
Entrepreneurship itself.
Most people accept the friction inside these systems as normal.
Founders don’t.
That’s why we’re excited to back Zendawa, Spark, ScoreMachine, and Hatchable — four companies rebuilding foundational infrastructure across healthcare, social discovery, sales intelligence, and startup creation.
Across Africa, neighborhood pharmacies are one of the most important points of healthcare access.
In Kenya alone, roughly 20,000 neighborhood pharmacies serve as primary caregivers for millions of people. Yet many still operate with limited operational infrastructure, fragmented inventory systems, and restricted access to financing.
Zendawa is building an end-to-end digital platform enabling pharmacies to:
What stood out to us was both the scale of the problem and the early traction:
As healthcare access increasingly digitizes globally, infrastructure supporting localized pharmacy networks could become one of the most important layers in emerging healthcare markets.
Most modern dating apps optimize for engagement loops rather than meaningful connection.
Infinite swiping, endless messaging, and low-intent interactions have created a user experience many people increasingly find exhausting.
Spark is taking a different approach.
The company is building a “post-swipe” platform focused on moving users toward real-world experiences faster through:
Rather than selling messaging access, Spark is building around actual meetings and experiences.
Early traction already includes:
What interested us most was the shift in behavior the company is targeting.
People increasingly want social products that create meaningful offline interaction — not simply more time spent scrolling.
Modern outbound sales still suffers from one enormous problem:
most lead data is inaccurate.
Businesses waste billions annually contacting invalid numbers, outdated contacts, and unreachable leads. Sales teams spend huge amounts of time operating on incomplete or low-quality information.
ScoreMachine is building AI-powered lead validation and scoring infrastructure designed to solve that problem.
Using proprietary machine learning models and real-time validation systems, the platform helps businesses:
The company is already demonstrating meaningful traction:
As outbound sales and marketing continue becoming more data-driven, infrastructure focused on data quality and contactability could become increasingly essential.
Starting a company remains highly fragmented.
Founders often juggle:
before even launching their product.
Hatchable is building an AI-powered startup creation platform designed to consolidate those workflows into one system.
The platform already includes:
What stood out to us was the scale of early adoption:
As AI continues reducing barriers to entrepreneurship, platforms simplifying startup creation could unlock entirely new waves of founders globally.
Although these companies operate in completely different industries, they share a common pattern:
They are rebuilding systems people already use every single day.
Not through small feature improvements.
Through infrastructure, automation, and workflow redesign.
Whether it’s:
the opportunity often comes from removing friction people stopped expecting to disappear.
We’re excited to support Zendawa, Spark, ScoreMachine, and Hatchable as they continue scaling toward their next milestones.
