Nigeria’s startup has secured a presence in Bloomberg’s latest ‘Startups to Watch’ list, represented by four companies who stand out in 2026 for addressing some of the country’s most pressing structural challenges.
The selection shows a broader shift in Africa’s startup ecosystem, where investors are increasingly backing companies building around systemic gaps in public infrastructure and services.
For Nigeria, the featured startups reflect a pattern of high-friction sectors where informal systems still dominate and where technology is being deployed as a substitute for absent or inefficient institutions.
10mg Health
10mg Health is on the list, founded in 2022 by pharmacist Christian Nwachukwu. The startup is targeting one of the most persistent bottlenecks in Nigeria’s healthcare system which is upfront payment for treatment.
