BrainMind is a private community of top brain scientists, entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, academic institutions, and lived experience, collaborating to accelerate impactful innovation in brain science. We believe that the right ecosystem can generate more progress than the status quo, by orders of magnitude.
Today, neuroscientists are mapping the brain not to the neuron, but to the molecule. They are decoding thoughts, building prosthetic memories, and there are people whose lives have been saved by neurotechnology — and many more still waiting for treatments that don't exist yet.
The choices made in this decade will shape what becomes available to them.
OUR APPROACH
Private Summits with the world’s leading brain research institutions.
Bridging the valley of death between research and patient impact.
The Ecosystem: matching capital, talent, and ideas.
Neuroethics, curriculum, and public science communication.
TERRAFORMING THE VALLEY OF DEATH
A "valley of death" of investment separates promising research from mass-scale innovations in brain science, especially for ideas that promise significant health impact but modest financial gain.
BrainMind seeks to coordinate talent from the entrepreneurial community and capital across philanthropy and venture capital to deliver stewardship of fundamental neuroscience to impact-focused stakeholders.
ETHICS
Our neuroethics initiative considers how to engage our entire community to maximize the potential benefits and minimize the hazards of emerging innovations in brain science.
OUR IMPACT
HELP MOVE BRAIN SCIENCE FORWARD.
Access to private convenings with leading brain research institutions.
Matching to capital, talent, and collaborators in our Ecosystem.
An exclusive, vetted community of peers across science, venture, and philanthropy.
