Palo Santo has a notable stake in atai, a global biopharmaceutical company developing psychedelic and non-psychedelic compounds for various mental health indications.

Statement from Palo Santo Co-Founder Daniel Goldberg

We congratulate our partners at atai on achieving this major milestone. Through its IPO, atai is not only bringing the general public a compelling investment opportunity, but also the chance to take part in today’s healthcare revolution. Improved health outcomes are the ultimate goal for both atai & Palo Santo, and today is a big step toward that goal.

Currently, we are in the midst of a global mental health crisis, and the problem is only continuing to grow. In 2010, the direct and indirect cost of mental health conditions worldwide was estimated to be $2.5 trillion — numbers which are projected to skyrocket to $6.0 trillion by 2030.

There is an urgent need to address our broken mental healthcare system. We believe psychedelics will expand treatment options and transform the outdated system. The time to invest in healthcare’s future is now because both the need — and upside — are too great.

As research continues and attitudes within regulatory and cultural landscapes rapidly evolve, the adoption of these medicines are being expedited, bringing psychedelic science to an inflection point.

With a track record of success in venture capital, life sciences, healthcare services and years of building relationships in the psychedelic research and business community, the Palo Santo team will continue to focus on identifying new opportunities and expanding our portfolio. Our mission is to improve the standard of care in mental healthcare while producing outsized returns for our investors.
