CB Therapeutics Closes on Oversubscribed Series A

CB Therapeutics Inc., the leading synthetic biology company focused on the development and biosynthetic production of existing and novel tryptamines and cannabinoids, is pleased to announce that it has closed an oversubscribed Series A funding round, filled entirely by re.Mind Capital, a fund launched by the psychedelics kingmaker, Christian Angermayer within Apeiron, his family office.

CB Therapeutics develops synthetic biology solutions to address mental health issues and increase healthspan. Its proprietary cellular agriculture platform enables next generation biosynthetic production of cannabinoids and psychedelic medicines and their analogs to further clinical research for various serious health conditions. The natural synergy between re.Mind Capital, a group which funds impactful companies developing solutions for the global mental health crisis, and CB Therapeutics, will lead to breakthroughs in innovating and supplying therapeutic molecules to the nutraceutical market and clinical researchers.

In addition to the closing of its Series A, CB Therapeutics welcomes Christian Angermeyer as Advisor, along with three new members to its board of directors, which now consists of Dr. Srinivas Rao, CSO of Atai Life Sciences; Dr. Jeff Miller, CEO of Invivoscribe; Jan Hardorp, Founding Partner at re.Mind Capital; and the founders of CB Therapeutics, Sher Ali Butt, CEO, and Dr. Jacob Vogan, CSO. The expanded board and the members’ decades of biotech and clinical expertise will enable CB Therapeutics to excel and innovate in competitive global biotechnology and mental health markets.

“Words can’t express how excited we are to work alongside Christian, Apeiron, re.Mind, and the extended family of companies, as we believe this is hands-down the best group of investors and partners to work with in this industry,” said Sher Ali Butt, CEO of CB Therapeutics. “In fact, even more than the funding itself, the most exciting bits are working with Christian as our new Advisor, the re.Mind Capital team, and our awesome new board of directors. With this new funding, advisors, and the board, we aim to be the leading biotechnology company for the biosynthesis of tryptamines, cannabinoids, and their analogs.”

“This fresh round of funding for CB Therapeutics will allow us to rapidly accelerate our scaled up manufacturing and sale of cannabinoids and tryptamines,” said Dr. Jacob Vogan, CSO of CB Therapeutics. “We’re also very excited to have re.Mind Capital backing us as we expand our PsyVault™, the largest collection of biosynthetic cannabinoids, tryptamines, and other psychedelic molecules which have fantastic therapeutic potential.”
