Gilgamesh Pharmaceutical: The Next Generation of Psychedelic Therapeutics
Nearly one in six people suffer from neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and substance use disorders. Unfortunately, this global mental health crisis has also resulted in a shortage of counseling and therapy options. By 2030, mental health disorders will cost the global economy nearly $16 trillion. This is primarily attributed to the 12 billion working days lost due to mental illness every year.

The Helper Bees: A Buzzing Aging-in-Place Platform
Aging in place offers individuals a more positive, comfortable, and affordable experience than nursing homes or assisted living facilities. In addition to being more cost-effective, aging in place also helps people maintain freedom and independence. It can also slow the advancement of memory loss, as patients remain connected to a similar setting and social network. Unfortunately, even with these benefits, there is a significant lack of systems and tools to enable individuals to age in place.
