Mobiklinic and FasterCapital focus on digital primary care access via EquityPilot

Kampala, Uganda & Dubai, UAE — 15 Mar 2026

Mobiklinic Holdings Ltd today announced it has joined FasterCapital’s EquityPilot program to refine execution and scale its digital health and e-learning offerings across Uganda and the region. FasterCapital will work with Mobiklinic on near-term milestones that focus on product development, go-to-market execution, and ecosystem introductions to help the company reduce patient wait times and expand access to community health services.

FasterCapital’s EquityPilot will prioritize execution milestones and go-to-market support over the first 30–60 days, concentrating on product refinement, digital operations, and strategic outreach to payors and clinics.

Why It Matters?

Healthcare access in many parts of East Africa remains constrained by long queues, fragmented record-keeping, and uneven distribution of trained community providers. Digital tools that combine booking, virtual consults, and locally tailored training aim to reduce unnecessary facility visits and improve primary care reach for underserved communities.

What the Startup Delivers?

Product Snapshot Mobiklinic offers a consumer-facing app that lets patients book and pay for consultations, choose video, chat or voice consults, and store private medical records. The company also operates MobiKlearn, an e-learning platform for basic healthcare training targeted at community health providers, and provides tools for clinics to list branches and manage patient flow. Mobiklinic’s model targets reduced waiting-room time and improved primary care accessibility through digital triage and telehealth.

Why Now?

Timing Adoption of mobile health tools and demand for scalable training for community providers are rising across East Africa. Digital triage and remote consultation can directly address common bottlenecks such as lengthy waiting times and limited access to trained staff in peri-urban and rural areas.

What FasterCapital Will Provide?

FasterCapital Support Scope - Hands-on execution support focused on immediate product and GTM priorities - Fundraising readiness guidance and refinement of investor-facing materials - Connections to regional health ecosystem stakeholders and potential commercial partners - Assistance with milestone planning and progress tracking during the program

Program Plan (first 30–60 Days)

Execution Plan In the initial 30–60 days, FasterCapital and Mobiklinic will map priority product fixes, validate key user flows (booking, teleconsult, records), and target pilot engagements with clinics and insurers. Work will focus on sharper positioning for payor discussions, improving the MobiKlearn experience, and preparing measurable milestones for the next program phase.

Proof Mobiklinic’s profile materials highlight a combined focus on teleconsults, clinic listings, and an e-learning product for community health providers. The startup’s materials include projected user and revenue trajectories for MobiKlearn and operational hub plans that FasterCapital will review as part of program work.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support Mobiklinic Holdings Ltd through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’”

Next Steps 90-Day

Outlook Over the next 90 days Mobiklinic will work with FasterCapital to finalize a prioritized product roadmap, initiate targeted pilot activations with clinics and insurers, and refine go-to-market messaging that supports uptake among patients and health facilities.

FasterCapital adds 3EP to EquityPilot to address long-term digital document integrity

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada & Dubai, UAE — Mar 16, 2026

FasterCapital is supporting 3E Solutions Department (DESVY) — 3EP through the EquityPilot program to help the team develop and scale a document trust infrastructure designed to enable self-contained, offline-verifiable certification of digital files. The engagement pairs FasterCapital’s execution-focused support with 3EP’s open specification and reference tooling for certified document containers.

FasterCapital’s EquityPilot engagement will concentrate on execution milestones over the first 30–60 days, with activities to refine product integration, strengthen developer tooling, and prepare governance and certification processes for early adopters.

Why It Matters?

Digital documents underpin government, legal, financial, and healthcare workflows, yet many formats lack durable, self-contained proof of authenticity. 3EP aims to address this gap by providing an open container format and a separate certification authority layer that together are designed to enable offline verification of document integrity and provenance for long-term archives and mission-critical workflows.

What the Startup Delivers?

3EP defines a ZIP-based container structure that pairs a visual PDF with a structured semantic JSON layer and an integrity layer based on deterministic SHA-256 hashing. A separately governed 3ECertified™ authority issues Ed25519 signing chains and embeds ledger proofs in documents so verification can be performed without external server calls. The project includes an open-source 3EP Viewer and SDK to facilitate integration.

Why Now?

Timing Regulatory attention on records retention, coupled with the operational risks of server-dependent signature validation, is creating urgency for solutions that can guarantee file immutability and offline verifiability. 3EP’s separation of an open Core from a governed certification layer is designed to make adoption feasible for organizations seeking long-term custody assurances.

What FasterCapital Will Provide?

• Hands-on execution support to refine near-term milestones and product integration
• Assistance strengthening the open-source viewer and SDK for enterprise adoption
• Guidance on certification governance, audit readiness, and developer documentation
• Connections to ecosystem stakeholders, potential integrators, and compliance advisors

First 30–60 Days

Program Plan In the initial phase, FasterCapital and 3EP will focus on stabilizing the reference viewer and SDK, documenting canonical serialization and lifecycle rules, and formalizing the Compliance & Certification Board (CCB) processes that will underwrite 3ECertified™ operations. Activities will include code reviews, security assessments, and developer portal preparation.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support 3E Solutions Department (DESVY) 3EP through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’”

Next 90 Days

Upcoming Milestones Over the next 90 days, the team plans to publish 3EP Core v1.0 and the open-source 3EP Viewer, launch the developer portal and SDK, and begin onboarding initial enterprise implementation license conversations and CCB audit workflows.

About 3E Solutions Department (DESVY)

3EP 3E Solutions Department (DESVY), Founded by E. Simon Jr Dibadi-Badio develops 3EP, an open document container and trust certification infrastructure that pairs a visual PDF with structured semantic data and an integrity layer. 3EP is designed to enable offline verification of document authenticity, provide clear lifecycle state controls, and separate an open Core specification from a governed certification authority.

AJEDUI-Group partners with FasterCapital’s EquityPilot to scale mini green networks

Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso & Dubai, UAE — Mar 20, 2026

Rural and peri-urban communities across West Africa face limited grid coverage and high electricity costs that constrain household welfare and local enterprise growth. AJEDUI-Group’s product line ranging from portable solar plates and batteries to mini green networks and village-scale solar plants targets the persistent gap in reliable, affordable electricity for disadvantaged populations.

What the Startup Delivers?

AJEDUI-Group offers a tiered portfolio: - Solar plates that power radios and recharge phones and flashlights simultaneously. - Small, medium and large solar batteries that enable lighting, phone charging and, for larger units, fans, TVs, refrigerators and laptops. - Solar panels and powerful solar machines for pumps and multi-appliance use. - Solar groups and mini green networks capable of serving multiple households or entire villages. The product mix is designed for modular deployment: individual households, shared community systems, and village grids.

Why Now?

Rising energy costs, incomplete national grids, and growing local demand for resilient off-grid solutions create an urgent window for scalable solar adoption. Affordable solar hardware combined with flexible purchase mechanisms such as daily or weekly tontines lowers the entry barrier for low-income households and stimulates microeconomic activity in rural areas.

Program Plan (first 30–60 days)

Under FasterCapital’s EquityPilot, AJEDUI-Group will validate pricing models and distribution channels, recruit and train additional regional sales agents, and pilot two mini green network installations in target districts. Activities will emphasize retail access points in rural markets, partnerships with local projects, and customer financing pilots to test weekly tontine payment schemes.

Competitive landscape (category-level)

The off-grid solar market in West Africa includes NGOs, local distributors, and international suppliers. AJEDUI-Group’s focus on combined hardware options (from portable plates to village networks) plus community payment models aims to differentiate on affordability, local distribution density, and flexible ownership structures rather than competing solely on component-level specs.

Leadership Comment

“Hesham Zreik, Founder and CEO of FasterCapital, said: ‘We’re excited to support AJEDUI-Group through EquityPilot. Our team will focus on execution milestones and connecting the startup with the right ecosystem stakeholders.’”

Ecosystem relevance
