Mamaya Health raises $3M for AI-powered women’s mental health platform

Nashville-based Mamaya Health has raised $3 million in Series A funding led by Florida’s LFE Capital to expand its AI-powered behavioral health platform for women and families. The investment will enable the mental wellness startup to enhance its care platform, grow its clinical network, and scale partnerships with health systems—addressing a critical gap in accessible mental health care for women during major life transitions.

What you should know: Mamaya Health provides a hybrid platform that integrates content, care navigation, and a provider network specifically designed to support women and families through life stages like pregnancy, postpartum, and perimenopause.

• The company was founded in early 2023 by Amy Green, a social worker, and Brandon Ziemann, though Green initially launched the concept in 2019.
• LFE Capital, a Naples, Florida-based venture capital firm, led the funding round with participation from Spitha Capital and additional investors.
• The startup has already launched pilot programs with health systems and women’s health organizations.

Why this matters: Mental health care access remains a significant challenge, particularly for women navigating major life transitions, and Mamaya’s approach treats mental health as a relational rather than individual issue.

• The company discovered demand extends beyond women to include their partners, children, and extended family members.
• This family-centered approach addresses what Green identifies as a fundamental flaw in traditional mental health treatment models.

The big picture: Mamaya’s funding strategy involved looking beyond Nashville’s venture capital market to find investors aligned with their mission.

• The connection with LFE Capital began at the Florida Venture Capital Conference in Miami.
• According to the company, accessing capital outside Nashville is critical to expanding their care model nationally.

What they’re saying: Industry leaders emphasize the urgent need for innovative approaches to mental health care access.

• “We invested in Mamaya because they’re tackling one of the most urgent challenges in healthcare: access to mental health care for women and families,” said Leslie Frecon, founder and managing partner at LFE Capital.
• “We’ve spent decades treating mental health like it’s an individual issue,” Green explained. “But it’s relational. It’s generational. It’s communal. Mamaya is the care model finally built to reflect that truth — and our partnerships with employers, hospitals, and providers are how we’ll scale it.”

What’s next: The funding will accelerate product development and improve access to Mamaya’s platform through expanded partnerships with employers, hospitals, and healthcare providers.
