Cybin is a public for-profit company that aims to deliver psychedelics (psilocybin) via a sublingual delivery mechanism. The company aims to start clinical trials within the year (2021).
Cybin
“Our mission is to bring fungi derived psychedelic and medicinal products into the world that may potentially drive the next discovery phase of life-changing medications to treat mental illness and other health conditions.”
The company wholly owns several other companies, namely Serenity Life Sciences Inc. (research) and Natures Journey Inc. (medical/consumers).
The company works together with a drug delivery company, and ATAI subsidiary, IntelGenx, to develop its products. The benefit of the sublingual strip may be the more convenient delivery method that may possibly even be more consistent over capsules or other methods.
In October 2020, the company raised $45 million Canadian and will do a reverse takeover (RTO, a relatively easy way to go public) of Clarmin to list on the TSXV. The company was also funded (in part) by Synaptic Ventures.
Since then, Cybin has raised a total of $98 million in funding over 5 rounds. Their latest funding was raised on Jul 27, 2021 from a Post-IPO Equity round.
The company is listed on the NYSKET under the ticker CYBN.
In December 2020, the company bought Adelia Therapeutics, a biopharmaceutical company, for $15.75 million.
