Maternal health company Nadia Care, formerly Cayaba Care, has raised $12 million in a funding round led by Valtruis and a major national payer.
First Trust Capital Partners and RH Capital also participated in the round.
WHAT IT DOES
The company offers a network of "Maternity Navigators" and a multidisciplinary team that provide in-person and virtual support to mothers from pregnancy through the postpartum period.
The company says it works with providers, payers and community partners to close care gaps through maternity support and educational services.
The Washington, D.C.-based company will use the funds to expand its work with regional Medicaid plans in the District of Columbia, Tennessee and Maryland.
"Nadia Care is challenging the status quo of how maternal care is delivered, stepping in to fill a major gap for mothers and families with care directly from their communities," Anna Haghgooie, managing director at Valtruis, said in a statement.
"When you pair that kind of connection with wraparound care and technology, you see improved health outcomes and lower total costs. We're proud to support the Nadia Care team in this exciting next step of their journey."
MARKET SNAPSHOT
The company announced the name change from Cayaba Care to Nadia Care alongside its $12 million funding announcement.
In 2024, the company announced it appointed Adaeze Enekwechi as its new CEO. Enekwechi is the former associate director of health programs for the White House during the Obama administration.
Cayaba launched in 2021 with $3.2 million in seed funding and in 2022 raised $12 million in a Series A round.
Another digital health company focused on maternal care is New York-based virtual women's health provider Maven Clinic, which banked $124 million in 2024, boosting its valuation to $1.7 billion.
In 2022, Maven raised $90 million in a Series E funding round, following a $110 million Series D funding round raised a year prior.
