Mental health startup Siggy has obtained $6 million in funding, according to Crunchbase News. The company plans to use this investment to expand its team and develop its platform.
Siggy's founders, Jonathan Sabbagh and Edvard Engesæth, have experience building healthcare companies, including Journey Clinical and Nurx. Their new venture, Siggy, aims to address a common issue in mental healthcare: the lack of communication between therapists and prescribers.
The founders began building Siggy in late 2025, and the company has recently started accepting paying patients. Siggy's platform uses AI conversations and daily check-ins to gather information about patients, which clinicians can review between visits.
Patients can use Siggy's platform to report their symptoms, sleep, mood, and medication, and can also connect wearable devices to track their physical activity and other health metrics. This data is used to produce a daily score, which is visible to both the patient and clinician.
The company's platform is designed to flag changes in a patient's condition, allowing clinicians to review and adjust treatment as needed. Siggy does not prescribe controlled substances and is not a crisis service, but rather a tool to support ongoing mental health care.
Siggy's founders aim to make their platform accessible to as many patients as possible, and the company accepts commercial insurance in all 50 states. The founders also plan to expand into government insurance programs and offer their service for free to veterans.
Investors, including Village Global and Mercury co-founder Immad Akhund, have backed Siggy due to its founders' experience and the company's potential to improve access to mental health care. The investment may help Siggy achieve its goal of using AI to detect changes in patients' brain health early on.
