Alignd, a Cape Town-based, women-led healthcare company founded in 2018, has received an undisclosed investment from South African venture capital firm Knife Capital, WeeTracker reported on 12 November. The investment was made through Knife Capital's third fund, Knife Fund III. No other investors were named, and the size and type of the investment were not disclosed.
Alignd designs healthcare programmes that align the interests of patients, medical providers and medical schemes, moving from paying for the volume of treatment to rewarding patient outcomes. The company is led by chief executive Dr Lungi Nyathi.
It started with palliative care and has built a network of more than 500 providers. It works with seven medical schemes, including GEMS, Fedhealth and Bonitas, and its palliative programme now reaches more than 3.3 million lives.
The new funding will support Alignd's expansion into maternity and kidney care, extending its value-based care programmes to two more areas of care.
