The future of mental wellness is being built today. Through its diversified investment fund, Palo Santo is positioned to increase the supply of clinically effective, affordable, and accessible mental health and addiction treatment solutions needed in today’s world.

“Palo Santo is seeing far more unique, high quality investment opportunities than we would have anticipated at this stage of the cycle and is therefore evaluating upsizing this current fund,” said Tim Schlidt, the co-founder of Palo Santo.

Palo Santo is a U.S.-based psychedelic investment fund focused on increasing the supply of clinically effective and accessible mental health and addiction treatment solutions needed in today’s world. The firm targets a diverse range of companies offering innovative solutions across biopharma, drug development, digital therapeutics, healthcare services, and tech-enabled solutions to address the growing global mental health crisis.

The nascent psychedelic treatment market has seen investor demand surge over the last year as multiple studies have shown psilocybin, an active compound in magic mushrooms, is effective in treating depression and other mental afflictions.

To date, Palo Santo has partnered with and funded more than 20-plus portfolio companies with notable investments such as atai Life Sciences, neurocare, Reset Pharma, Tactogen, Eleusis, Beckley Psytech, Delix, Bexson Biomedical, Ksana Health, Bright Minds, Psy Therapeutics, and Gilgamesh, among others.

The psychedelic fund will be an active participant and work with the managements of the companies it invests in, said Schlidt, a former healthcare banker, in an interview with Reuters.

The fund will mainly invest in companies that are in the early stages of their fundraising, but could eventually begin investing in the late-stage rounds as well, co-founder Daniel Goldberg said.

He added the fund would also look to invest in companies whose operations go beyond just the production of psilocybin and focus on the development of new compounds based on it or its delivery methods.
