– Seven Starling, a virtual provider of women’s behavioral health services raises $10.9M in Series A funding led by RH Capital with participation from insiders Pear VC, Expa, Magnify Ventures, Emerson Collective, and Inflect Health, and new investors including Zeal Capital Partners, Ulu Ventures, Fiore Ventures, the March of Dimes, Rogue Venture Partners, Graham & Walker, and Wisdom Ventures. 

–  The funding will ​​empower Seven Starling to expand access to critical mental healthcare services for women such as infertility, miscarriage and loss, pregnancy, postpartum, and parenthood across the United States.

Addressing the Untreated Crisis of Maternal Mental Health

The funding comes at a critical time. Shockingly, 94% of women experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders – conditions affecting one in five mothers – don’t seek help. Factors like therapist shortages, limited insurance coverage, and stigma surrounding these issues create significant barriers to receiving care. Only 20% of mothers are even screened for mental health concerns, and a mere 75% of those needing treatment receive it.

Seven Starling: Bridging the Gap in Care

Seven Starling tackles this crisis head-on by offering a comprehensive suite of virtual services, including:

  • Specialized Therapy: Individual and group therapy sessions led by therapists trained in women’s unique challenges.
  • Medication Management: For those who benefit from medication, Seven Starling provides evidence-based psychiatric evaluation and management.
  • Seamless Onboarding: Each patient receives personalized support from a Patient Advocate, ensuring a smooth start to their treatment journey.
  • Engaging Resources: In-between sessions, patients can access CBT exercises, journaling prompts, and guided meditations within the Seven Starling app.

Trusted Partner for OBGYNs and Patients

Seven Starling has become a trusted resource for over 1,000 OBGYNs nationwide, with 90% of patients referred through their doctors. This strategic approach allows Seven Starling to intervene early, potentially mitigating 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 most major commercial health plans, and over 85% of patients utilize in-network insurance with copays ranging from $0-$30 per session. The next phase includes accepting Medicaid, further expanding access to care for all women across the US.

Fueling Growth and Innovation

The newly raised capital will fuel Seven Starling’s national expansion, partnerships with Medicaid plans, and development of innovative technology for deeper integration with healthcare partners. Additionally, Zheng and Hershenson, joining Seven Starling’s board of directors, bring valuable experience to guide future strategies and growth.

“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.”
