South African e-health startup Mia Healthcare Technologies raised ZAR15 million, or about $920,000, to expand access to affordable dental and orthodontic care.
The funding came from the Vumela Fund, which is managed by Edge Growth. Mia Healthcare said the investment will support its next phase of growth, including a wider national footprint, stronger manufacturing capacity, and broader access to dental care across Southern Africa.
Founded in 2021 by Dr. Zane Stennings and Dr. Karishma Soni, Mia Healthcare operates a network of mobile and fixed dental practices. The company also offers locally made clear aligners at lower prices than many imported alternatives.
Mia Healthcare said its model addresses cost, location, and access barriers in dental care. By combining dental services, manufacturing, and partner dentists, the company wants to make orthodontic treatment more accessible while creating growth opportunities for practitioners.
Stennings said the investment validates Mia’s mission and shows that the dental market has room for innovation and scale. Edge Growth said Mia has a strong management team, deep industry knowledge, and a service model suited to a stable market.
