Backed by investor Peter Thiel, (pictured), Atai owns a 25% stake in Compass Pathways (NASDAQ: CMPS), a company developing psilocybin products for psychedelics-assisted psychotherapy, which debuted on Wall Street in September of last year.
Atai also provides companies in its portfolio with R&D infrastructure, legal, financial and accounting operations.
“The common thread, the bridge across all of these companies is the Atai personnel. We are heavily, heavily operationally involved, certainly on the development side, but beyond in all of these companies,” Srinivas Rao, chief scientific officer at Atai, said in a recent interview reported by Yahoo Finance.
