Siggy Raises $6M to Build AI-Supported Mental Health Care With Licensed Clinicians

Siggy has raised $6 million in pre-seed funding to build a mental health service that uses AI to collect patient histories and track progress between appointments with licensed clinicians. Village Global led the financing for the New York-based startup. The round is Siggy’s first outside funding and is intended to support hiring clinicians and engineers, software development and regulatory work.

Siggy brings together Jonathan Sabbagh, co-founder of Journey Clinical, and Edvard Engesæth, co-founder of Nurx. Sabbagh is CEO and Engesæth is COO, pairing experience in mental health services and online healthcare delivery. The company began building in late 2025 and recently started accepting paying patients ahead of its public launch.

Siggy’s model focuses on the gap between therapy and medication-management appointments, where patients may have limited time to discuss changes in symptoms or side effects. Patients begin with a free AI conversation about their history, then meet a licensed clinician by video for review, diagnosis and medication when appropriate. Between visits, patients can use AI conversations and daily check-ins covering sleep, mood, medication and physical well-being, with wearable data contributing to a daily “Siggy Score” out of 100.

Siggy says clinicians review flagged score changes, make treatment decisions, handle medical questions and help patients taper off medication when appropriate. The company does not prescribe controlled substances and is not a crisis service. Siggy accepts commercial insurance in all 50 states, is expanding into government insurance programs, offers direct payment and says the service will be permanently free to veterans.
