About Arcade - Seed Extension Round
Arcade Therapeutics: Transforming Women's Mental Health with Therapeutic Games
Women experience anxiety at twice the rate of men, are twice as likely to face depression, and 1 in 5 experience postpartum depression — yet 75% of maternal mental health conditions go untreated. Arcade Therapeutics is changing that with a first-of-its-kind platform that turns clinically proven mental health treatment into something women actually want to use: a casual mobile game.
Our first product, StarStarter, uses Attention Bias Modification (ABM) — a neuroscience-backed technique validated across 7 NIH-funded clinical trials — to retrain how the brain responds to anxiety. Just 6–12 minutes a day over 30 days. No prescription required. In our clinical study, 90% of users saw a reduction in anxiety symptoms, with an average improvement of 33%. Our most recent findings were published in the Journal of Anxiety Disorders.
We're not just a product — we're building a platform. ArcadeConnect™, our AI-driven clinical insights layer, enables real-time mood tracking and automated escalation to higher levels of care, making us a compelling partner for health systems, universities, and employer programs alike.
Where we are today:
- Launched direct-to-consumer subscriptions in February 2026, exceeding early projections
- First app to earn the APA Digital Badge for clinical quality
- Signed enterprise contracts with Montclair State University, Atlantic Health System, Talkspace, and others rolling out in 2026
- $3.8M NIMH grant co-awarded with UT Austin Dell Medical School to expand into depression treatment
- Backed by Anne Wojcicki (Founder, 23andMe), SeedLinx, Blu Venture Investors, and BAT VC
We're raising a $1.5M Seed Extension to scale our DTC launch, staff commercial operations, and reach $1–2M ARR — positioning us for a Series A growth round. Your investment accelerates access to mental health care for millions of women who are underserved, overlooked, and overdue for something better.
