Jimini Health Launches Clinician-Led AI Therapy Model with $8M Pre-Seed Funding

The digital health company combines clinician advice with AI-supported therapy for continuous care

Jimini Health, a digital health company pioneering a clinician-led, AI-supported therapy model, has announced its launch backed by $8 million in pre-seed funding. Investors include Zetta Venture Partners, Lionbird, PsyMed, BoxGroup, Arkitekt Ventures, SCB, CityLight Capital, and SpringBank. The funding will drive the development of its combination of human expertise and AI for mental healthcare.

Jimini Health aims to redefine therapy for patients with anxiety through a continuous care model that bridges the gaps between traditional sessions. At the heart of its approach is Sage, an AI coach that is supervised by licensed therapists. Sage uses prompts and exercises tailored to individual goals to ensure patients remain engaged in clinically guided activities between sessions.

“Therapy has long been constrained by a traditional weekly model that leaves patients unsupported in between sessions,” said Luis Voloch, CEO and co-founder of Jimini Health. “By integrating responsible AI, we aim to empower clinicians rather than replace them, offering a continuous and higher-quality standard of care.”

Unlike standalone AI tools, Sage operates as part of a broader treatment plan, offering a potentially scalable solution to mental health.

Jimini Health was co-founded by industry veterans Luis Voloch, Mark Jacobstein, and Sahil Sud. Voloch, a co-founder of Immunai—an AI-powered cancer immunotherapy company valued at over $1 billion—offers extensive expertise in AI and biotechnology. Jacobstein has a background at Guardant Health and Immunai, and Sud previously worked with Ribbon Health and Palantir Technologies.

“Mental illness is a global health emergency, and it demands a scientifically grounded and clinically rigorous approach,” said Dylan Reid, Partner at Zetta Venture Partners. “Jimini Health’s model prioritizes safety and efficacy, setting a new benchmark for AI in mental healthcare.”

Jimini Health plans to use the funding to further develop its AI and safety protocols, expand its product offerings, and serve its initial clients.
