Schlidt said that psychedelics represent a paradigm shift in treating a range of illnesses, but a sense of scientific rigor and thoroughness is still required in investing across this ecosystem. 

“Palo Santo applies a meticulous and selective approach to investing and heavily leverages its network of scientific advisors and academicians to evaluate opportunities,” Schlidt explained.

The psychedelics fund will be an active participant and work with the management of the companies it invests in, said Schlidt in an interview with Reuters.

Advisors to the fund include Charles Nichols, Julie Holland, David Sherman and John Greden.
