JotPsych isn’t here to play industry Mad Libs with “AI-powered,” “HIPAA-compliant,” and “behavioral health.” They’re here because thousands of clinicians are spending three hours a day charting notes instead of helping patients. That’s not inefficiency. That’s malpractice by design, and the system handed them the pen.
Nathan Peereboom and Jackson Bierfeldt didn’t build JotPsych to chase vanity metrics. They pivoted hard in 2023, walking away from a generalist medical scribetool that couldn’t hold water. Instead, they zoomed in on where the pain was loudest, therapists, counselors, and psychiatrists drowning in documentation. That bet just turned into a $5 million Seed round, led by Base10 Partners with returning firepower from Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Rogue Ventures, and a squad of behavioral health insiders who know the grind firsthand.
This isn’t your cousin’s clinical dictation app. JotPsych listens in real time, pulls the signal from the noise, and spits out structured, DSM5-aligned progress notes in SOAP, BIRP, and GIRP formats like it went to grad school with your therapist. It identifies billing codes, wraps the whole thing in end-to-end encryption, and deletes transcripts as soon as the note’s done. That’s not just smart, it’s surgical. And with 800,000 sessions already processed across North America, Europe, and Australia, it’s safe to say the shrink got a scribe, and the scribe brought receipts.
Let’s be real, this round didn’t close because VCs got warm fuzzies. It closed because JotPsych is pushing $1.5M ARR in under 18 months, growing 10–30% monthly, and stacking integrations with Epic and Cerner like they’re Lego blocks. It’s purpose-built for mental health, not some Frankenstein’ed EHR bolt-on trying to pretend it understands therapy flow. And when a CTO like Jackson Bierfeldt trains multilingual NLP models that learn your personal style over time? That’s not automation. That’s augmentation.
This team isn’t interested in press clippings. They’re here to hire 20 more engineers, drop an EDI billing engine, and roll out performance analytics that actually mean something. Nate Peereboom is bringing clarity to a chaotic system. Jackson Bierfeldt is turning voice into value. JotPsych is the AI scribe for a market no one bothered to understand, until now.
Get used to hearing the name. They’re not jotting things down. They’re rewriting how behavioral health gets done.
