Jul 1, 2020 - neurocare group
As another key step towards its planned public listing, neurocare is very pleased to announce the closing of a significant financing round with its existing anchor investor bm-t and new strategic investor re.Mind, the mental health fund of Apeiron, the family office of Christian Angermayer, a prolific investor in life sciences and mental health, among other sectors.
neurocare is grateful to bm-t for participating in this financing and believes that re.Mind is a value-enhancing strategic investor for neurocare. Apeiron have a proven track record of financing innovation in the emerging psychedelics space. This access to more psychedelics is a complement to neurocare who already collaborates with physicians applying ketamine.
Kevin Reeder, CEO of bm-t said: “We are pleased to see neurocare strengthening its position for its much-needed innovative approach in mental health, especially once the world is looking beyond the actual pandemic to the collateral damage in mental health. The endorsement of a strategic investor with such an impressive track record is an extremely strong affirmation that neurocare is a best-in-class provider of personalized mental health solutions”.
Christian Angermayer says: ”The concept of neurocare represents the blueprint for future mental care: they apply a range of strongly evidenced therapeutics tailored to the individual. Whether it’s neuromodulation, traditional CBT or indeed psychedelic medicines, neurocare delivers world-class personalized care”. Jan Hardorp, Partner of re.Mind says, “neurocare has an innovative model of care that can also be out-licensed around the world. They are growing rapidly, with a superior economic model to what we’ve seen elsewhere. We join neurocare so that more patients can access solutions befitting the complex nature of mental health. We are proud to become an anchor investor in neurocare and drive synergies with Apeiron’s portfolio of companies.”
Alex Zobel, neurocare’s CFO and Tom Mechtersheimer, Founder and CEO of neurocare said: “We are excited because the strategic fit is very good and we can expand our footprint for the demand expected post pandemic. In recent years we have been integrating neuromodulation into best clinical practice through our DTx platform and with our new partners we will launch more psychedelics. This funding will allow us to accelerate towards the public markets and global scaling. We are grateful to our existing investors and welcome our new shareholders warmly.”
