July 18, 2024, 9:36 am
In a world where 94% of women suffering from perinatal mood and anxiety disorders don't seek help, Seven Starling emerges as a beacon of hope. With a recent $10.9 million Series A funding round, this virtual provider of women's behavioral health services is on a mission to expand access to critical mental healthcare services for women across the United States. Led by RH Capital, with support from Pear VC, Expa, Magnify Ventures, and other key investors, Seven Starling is bridging the gap in care for women facing challenges such as infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood.
Addressing the Untreated Crisis of Maternal Mental Health
The statistics are staggering - only 20% of mothers are screened for mental health concerns, and a mere 75% of those in need receive treatment. Seven Starling is stepping up to the plate by offering a comprehensive suite of virtual services, including specialized therapy, medication management, seamless onboarding, and engaging resources like CBT exercises and guided meditations. By providing a trusted resource for over 1,000 OBGYNs nationwide, Seven Starling is intervening early to potentially mitigate the estimated $14 billion in additional healthcare costs associated with untreated maternal mental health conditions.
Broad Insurance Coverage and Future Expansion
Committed to accessibility, Seven Starling partners with major commercial health plans, with over 85% of patients utilizing in-network insurance. The next phase includes accepting Medicaid, further expanding access to care for all women across the US. With a focus on fueling growth and innovation, the newly raised capital will support national expansion, partnerships with Medicaid plans, and the development of innovative technology for deeper integration with healthcare partners.
A Vision for the Future
"We are thrilled to have successfully raised this round of funding, which will allow us to expand our reach and help more women who need support during critical life transitions," says Tina Beilinson Keshani, co-founder and CEO of Seven Starling. "This investment is a testament to the demand for a dedicated women's mental health solution and our commitment to providing accessible, high-quality care. With the new funding, we will continue to successfully reduce the stigma around women's mental health and ensure that every woman has access to the care she needs, when she needs it."
In a world where women's mental health is often overlooked, Seven Starling stands out as a shining example of innovation and compassion. With a focus on bridging the gap in care and revolutionizing women's behavioral healthcare, Seven Starling is paving the way for a brighter, healthier future for women across the United States.
