They told us to wait our turn. We’re not.

Swishvo is reclaiming health equity—starting with birth.

Too many families are still burying mothers instead of celebrating births.
That’s not just a tragedy—it’s a system failure.

At Swishvo, we believe the people closest to the pain should own the solution.

We’re building the first AI-powered platform that helps doulas, midwives, lactation consultants, therapists, and other culturally rooted providers get paid, recognized, and reimbursed.

👉🏾 Invest Now on Wefunder 👈🏾 — with as little as $100

In just a few months, we’ve grown to 1,400+ providers, processed over $500K in claims, and helped more than 250 moms live to raise their babies.

We’re done waiting for systems to change.
We’re building our own—and now, you can own a piece of it too.

This isn’t just one story.

It’s the reality for thousands of community-rooted providers across the country.

Hear from the Frontlines

We’ve heard from doulas who could finally quit their second jobs.
We’ve heard from moms who finally felt seen.
We’ve heard from investors who said, “This should have existed 10 years ago.”

So we’re not slowing down.

📢 We’re raising $1.5M to scale across the Southeast
We’ve already reached nearly $20K in our first week with no ads—just community.

Why It Matters

  • 🇺🇸 The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of any developed country—and it’s rising.

  • 💔 The providers who could save them are still underpaid, underrecognized, and shut out of the insurance system.

The system wasn’t built for doulas, midwives, lactation consultants—or any provider rooted in culture.
Our healthcare system was built for billing codes—not for trust, outcomes, or healing.


Swishvo is changing that.

This isn’t charity. It’s infrastructure.
A digital backbone for a new kind of care—designed for us, by us.
