On June 20, 2025, BrainMind hosted an invitation-only Investor Roundtable at the Harvard Club of Boston to explore how ethical considerations can be more intentionally embedded into early-stage investment and governance decisions in neurotechnology. The gathering brought together a select group of values-aligned investors to examine real-world case studies, share insights, and co-develop practical tools for responsible innovation.

As a result of this meeting, two participant-led working groups were launched—one to design a Joint Investor–Founder Agreement and another to build an Ethics & Reputation Risk Matrix. The event catalyzed continued collaboration leading up to Asilomar for the Brain and Mind 2026 and reinforced BrainMind’s mission to shape the trajectory of neurotechnology for long-term societal benefit.
