Exclusive: Nurx And Journey Clinical Co-Founders Raise $6M For Mental Health Startup Siggy

Siggy, a mental health startup, has secured $6 million in pre-seed funding to develop an AI-driven service that collects patients' medical histories and tracks progress between appointments with licensed clinicians. The company was co-founded by Jonathan Sabbagh, who previously co-founded Journey Clinical which supports ketamine-assisted psychotherapy practices, and Edvard Engesæth, who co-founded Nurx, an online healthcare service that provides birth control and other services.

Venture capital firm Village Global led the financing round, with other investors including Albert Wenger, Immad Akhund, and Toyin Ajayi. Siggy's team plans to use the funding for hiring more clinicians, engineers, software development, and regulatory compliance. The startup began accepting paying patients for its public launch after starting operations in late 2025.

Siggy's approach combines AI conversations and daily check-ins to gather information for clinicians between visits. The AI helps maintain patient-provider communication, allowing clinicians to have a more comprehensive understanding of patients' conditions. Patients can track their sleep, mood, medication, and physical well-being through daily check-ins, which are combined with data from wearable devices to generate a daily 'Siggy Score' out of 100.

The score is shared between patients and clinicians, who can review changes and adjust treatment accordingly. Siggy does not prescribe controlled substances or offer crisis services, but it does accept commercial insurance in all 50 states and is expanding to government insurance programs, ensuring affordability for a wider range of patients. The founders also aim to make the service free for veterans.
