Mental health AI startup Siggy secures $6m funding from investors including village global

Siggy, a new mental health service utilizing artificial intelligence, has secured $6 million in pre-seed funding. The company aims to provide patients with a platform to track their health history and monitor progress between sessions with licensed clinicians. Village Global spearheaded this financing round, which also attracted investment from Albert Wenger of Union Square Ventures and Immad Akhund, co-founder of Mercury. Co-founders Jonathan Sabbagh of Journey Clinical and Edvard Engesæth of Nurx began developing Siggy in late 2025. Siggy’s model uses AI conversations and daily check-ins to gather data, which is combined with optional wearable device data to generate a daily Siggy Score out of 100 for both the patient and clinician. Sabbagh, CEO of Siggy, noted the service addresses the fragmentation where therapists and prescribers often operate separately. The startup is expanding its operations to hire more engineers and clinicians, and it is accepting commercial insurance in all 50 states, with the founders emphasizing that the service will be permanently free for veterans. Engesæth, COO, stated that AI helps maintain patient conversations, providing clinicians with a richer view of the individual being treated.
