Our take
There’s been a major movement towards treating mental health issues with psychedelics over the last few years. While the vast majority of this work is still in R&D and clinical trials, the space has become awash with capital investment, with a handful of companies even going public.
COMPASS Pathways is one of those to go public, along with MindMed in 2020. The company is developing methods for treating depression and other mental health issues with psilocybin – the naturally occurring psychedelic chemical found in mushrooms.
The growth of COMPASS from being founded in 2016 to its IPO in 2020 has been extraordinary. There have been a few ups and downs since then (as is the case with most PLCs), with each rise and fall dependent on the progress of its trials. However, the fact that the company appointed former Otsuka Pharmaceutical executive Kabir Nath as CEO in 2022, bolstered by $285 million in private placement VC, shows that it's determined to stay ahead of the competition.
