Nadia Care Raises $12M to Expand Community-Based Maternal Healthcare Platform

Nadia Care is focused on something heavier than scale: trust. The kind that shows up at a front door when a mother needs support, not another login screen. That mission just pulled in $12M in fresh capital as the company formerly known as Cayaba Care steps forward with a new name and the same conviction that maternal healthcare deserves better infrastructure than hope and good intentions.

Credit where it is due. Congratulations to Founder Dr. Olan Soremekun and CEO Dr. Adaeze Enekwechi for building and now steering a company that treats maternal care like the high stakes system it actually is. The backing behind this round reads like a serious room of capital that understands the assignment. Valtruis helped lead the charge alongside a major national payer, with participation from First Trust Capital Partners and RH Capital. This is not tourist money. These firms invest where outcomes matter and where scale has teeth.

The idea behind Nadia Care is simple enough to explain over coffee but complex enough to require real operational muscle. The company delivers community based maternal care through multidisciplinary teams that include maternity navigators, nurse practitioners, lactation specialists, nutrition support, and social care. The work happens between the appointments that traditional healthcare systems schedule and then forget about. Home visits, telehealth support, care coordination, and proactive outreach wrap around expecting mothers who historically get the least attention and the highest risk.

And the results are not theory. By April 2024 the company had already supported close to 1,000 births while delivering 25% fewer emergency department visits, 50% lower preterm birth rates, and nearly 20% cost savings for health plan partners. Fast forward and the model has reached roughly 4,000 members, driving a 60% reduction in NICU days, a 47% drop in low birth weight deliveries, and more than a 20% reduction in C section rates. Healthcare investors notice numbers like that because spreadsheets do not lie.

There is also a lesson hiding inside this round that founders across sectors should pay attention to. Nadia Care did not raise capital on vision alone. The company proved outcomes in the real world first. That credibility created the gravitational pull that brought investors like Seae Ventures, Kapor Capital, Flare Capital Partners, Digitalis Ventures, SteelSky Ventures, Wellington Access Ventures, Citi Impact Fund, Rhia Ventures, and Independence Blue Cross into the orbit over time. Build the evidence and the capital conversation changes tone.

Now the next chapter moves beyond Philadelphia roots into a broader footprint that includes Washington D.C., Maryland, and Tennessee through partnerships with regional Medicaid plans. The market is massive, the stakes are human, and the strategy is refreshingly grounded in results. Nadia Care is not just a name change. It is a signal that maternal healthcare finally has a model built to care at scale while remembering the one thing healthcare often forgets. People.
