Beckley Waves is the first venture studio explicitly formed to build and invest in the thriving psychedelic ecosystem to advance mental health and well-being. Co-founded by Amanda Feilding (founder of the Beckley Foundation and widely known as the 'Queen of Psychedelics'), the studio funds, supports, and mentors emerging leaders and entrepreneurs working to foster the operational infrastructure of a global psychedelic ecosystem. Beckley Waves is building the psychedelic ecosystem to advance mental well-being and foster a thriving psychedelic industry rooted in science, innovation, and compassion. The studio leverages over 60 years of research showing that psychedelics can be tools to usher in a new paradigm of mental health and well-being. Beckley Waves actively initiates new ventures, makes strategic investments in pioneering start-ups, and builds foundational infrastructure for responsible, equitable, and lawful psychedelic use. The studio has co-founded multiple operating companies including Beckley Retreats (psilocybin-based retreats), Beckley Academy (therapist training), Beckley Clinical (ketamine-assisted therapy), and The Trip Report (industry newsletter and podcast). Beckley Waves is committed to safe, legal, and responsible practices that benefit individuals, society, and the natural world, with a focus on early-stage providers, platforms, and products enabling equitable access to psychedelic treatments, therapies, and experiences.
