Blueroomcare secures $50K to expand access to mental health care in Nigeria

Blueroomcare, a Nigerian digital mental health startup, has  received a $50,000 follow-on investment from EHA Impact Ventures, marking a significant boost for mental health innovation in the country. The new funding is a vote of confidence in the platform’s traction, user growth, and hybrid care model.

Founded to tackle Nigeria’s rising mental health crisis, Blueroomcare connects users especially youth and women to licensed Nigerian therapists via secure online sessions. With over 20% of Nigerians experiencing mental health conditions and less than 10% receiving care, the platform aims to close access gaps using affordable, tech-enabled therapy.

The latest funding builds on EHA Impact Ventures’ earlier $50,000 pre-seed convertible loan and $30,000 in technical support provided in 2024.This brings EHA’s total commitment to Blueroomcare to over $100,000 across two years covering capital, strategic advisory, and system development. The new investment is structured as a revenue-based convertible loan, allowing for flexibility as the startup grows. 

As part of the partnership, Blueroomcare was integrated into the EHA Clinics ecosystem, enabling a hybrid care model where users can begin therapy online and continue in-person at clinics in Lagos and Abuja. This move reflects strong user preference as over 57% of surveyed clients favored blended care for trust and continuity.

The new funds will support expansion of Blueroomcare’s therapist network, improvements to its AI matching system, and outreach in slums, schools, and HR departments. The goal is to normalize therapy and build a mental health culture rooted in access, empathy, and relevance.
