Mar 2021Series DApeiron Investment Group (lead); Thiel Capital (lead); Woodline Partners (lead)$157M$2BAtai Life Sciences closed a $157 million Series D financing round on March 3, 2021, led by existing investors Apeiron Investment Group, Christian Angermayer's family office, and Thiel Capital, with new investor Woodline Partners LP joining the round. Additional participation came from Fearless Ventures, Falcon Edge Capital, Pura Vida Pro, Catalio Capital Management, Michael Auerbach's Subversive Capital, Highline Capital, and others. The proceeds were designated to support expansion and development of the company's diverse drug candidate pipeline, advance clinical developments, and scale the experienced team. At the time of the Series D round in early 2021, Atai was a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing psychedelic and non-psychedelic compounds for various mental health indications, positioning itself as a biotech platform company that invested in and worked closely with portfolio and subsidiary companies developing psychedelics like psilocybin, arketamine, and ibogaine into medicines. The round came less than four months after Atai's prior $125 million Series C financing, establishing the company as the largest private psychedelics company in the world. CEO Florian Brand attributed the round's success to renewed investor interest following Compass Pathways' NASDAQ IPO in the fall of 2020, noting that institutional investors were increasingly recognizing the need for innovation in mental health treatment.
