Nema Health Raises $4.1M in seed funding, launches PTSD program

Nema Health, a New Haven-based virtual treatment program delivering evidence-based care for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), announced it has closed a $4.1 million seed round and is launching its care program in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey.

Nema’s virtual platform is designed to provide access to trauma care and wraparound support to individuals dealing with PTSD, providing a care team that includes a therapist, peer mentor, case manager, and psychiatrist when indicated. Nema stated that roughly 75% of patients no longer meet the criteria for PTSD after just four weeks of intensive treatment with its platform.

The fundraise was co-led by Optum Ventures and .406 Ventures, with participation from GreyMatter Capital and additional angel investors.

“Our current system poses significant challenges to survivors of PTSD and complex trauma: they have the strength within to find healing, but until now, there hasn’t been an accessible way for them to reach it,” said Dr. Sofia Noori, founder of Nema Health.
