Who it's for

Solo developer or 2-person team with interest in healthtech; customers are working-age Nigerians seeking privacy for sensitive conditions (sexual health, contraception, mental health meds).

How to build it

1. Secure 2–3 licensed Nigerian doctors willing to consult remotely (offer 40–50% of consultation fee). Verify their licences with MCI. 2. Build a simple web app: intake form → triage chat or async questionnaire → doctor review (same day or next morning) → prescription issued. 3. Partner with 1–2 licensed pharmacies in Lagos, Abuja, and Kano who will dispense and ship; negotiate 20–30% margin on their retail markup. 4. Set consultation fee at ₦5,000–₦8,000 (or USD equivalent for diaspora); medications sold at near-pharmacy retail with discreet packaging. 5. Launch with Facebook/Google Ads targeted at 25–45 year-olds in high-income LGAs; seed with 100 test users and gather reviews before scaling paid ads.
