The Conscious Fund

What The Conscious Fund does

The Conscious Fund is a private Pre-Seed and Seed-stage venture capital fund established in 2018 and headquartered in Lewes, United States. The firm invests in early-stage companies pioneering psychedelic medicine, state of mind technologies, and advanced therapeutics, and is co-founded by Henri Sant-Cassia and Michael Hoyos. Its go-to-market centers on direct outreach, network introductions within the psychedelic medicine ecosystem, and a website contact form that funnels founder, limited partner, and partnership enquiries into the firm.

The fund operates a traditional venture capital revenue model: returns accrue from capital gains on equity investments, carried interest on successful exits, and management fees on committed LP capital. Its customer base is bifurcated—founders of early-stage companies seeking Pre-Seed and Seed capital within the psychedelic and advanced therapeutics vertical, and accredited investors or institutions seeking curated exposure to that sector. Marketing and distribution are relationship-driven rather than broad-consumer oriented, consistent with a B2B investment vehicle.

The Conscious Fund is not a technology company and discloses no proprietary technology platform. Beyond core fund management, it operates the Conscious Musician Program, an educational initiative that presents research findings on awareness techniques in musical practice. With a headcount of 1–10 employees, the firm is small and concentrated on specialized deal sourcing, due diligence, and portfolio support rather than scale-driven operations.
