Founders Pledge

Founders Pledge has written a report on psychedelics as medicine in which they argue cautious optimism for psychedelic drug development.

“Within the space of psychedelic-assisted mental health treatments, we think that drug development is the most promising intervention. Drug development is a process that covers everything from the discovery of a brand-new drug to the drug being approved for medical use. Drug development is the most straightforward and potentially the only way to make psychedelic-assisted mental health treatments available at scale; it involves high-quality clinical trials that will teach us more about the benefits and costs of psychedelic-assisted mental health treatments and it will likely unlock other progress in psychedelic-assisted treatments.” (Founders Pledge, 2020)

Florian Brand, CEO of atai, is among the signatories of the Founders Pledge.

Floris Wolswijk, Founder of Blossom, has also taken the Founders Pledge.
