Market

An underserved market.

100,000 rural clinics across sub-Saharan Africa lack reliable power. 1B+ people depend on them. Grid expansion is not reaching these facilities. What's missing is a deployment model that works within existing health systems and remains in place.

100,000

Rural clinics without reliable power across Africa. Each serves ~10,000 patients/year. BioKite targets facilities where backup power doesn't exist.

$300M–$500M

Serviceable addressable market across East and West Africa. $3,000–$5,000 per clinic all-in.

Revenue Model

Three revenue streams. One mission.

Stream 1

Government Contracts

Health authorities contract BioKite for Clinic Ready deployments. Per-clinic pricing. Scalable across counties and countries.

Stream 2

Corporate ESG Fees

Companies pay per battery diverted. Auditable impact data for sustainability reports. Tracked quarterly.

Stream 3

Certification Licensing

Certified Energy Officer program and Clinical Readiness Protocol licensed to organizations in new regions. Materials, exams, and scorecards included.

Cost-Effectiveness

1/21 the WHO cost-effectiveness threshold.

WHO considers interventions "highly cost-effective" below GDP per capita per DALY averted. BioKite's <$105 per life-year saved is 1/21 of that threshold. Methodology available.

Frequently Asked

Questions from investors.

Pre-seed. The Narok County pilot is co-designed with 24 local stakeholders and county health authorities. 15 engineering students are completing 160-hour certification at Maasai Mara University. Equipment procurement and deployment are underway.
$3,000-$5,000 per clinic all-in (equipment, installation, training, certification, first-year monitoring). Less than $105 per life-year saved. 1/21 the WHO cost-effectiveness threshold. Full methodology available in the investor brief.
The Certified Energy Officer program and Clinical Readiness Protocol are designed to be licensed to partner organizations in new regions. The model works within existing county health systems, which means we don't need to build parallel infrastructure. 100,000 clinics across sub-Saharan Africa need this.
BioKite Labs operates as a social enterprise with 501(c)(3) status pending. Revenue comes from government contracts, corporate ESG partnerships, and certification licensing. Mission and margin are aligned: every revenue stream directly funds clinic deployments.
