PsyTech

What PsyTech does

PsyTech, operating legally as Psytech Global, is a privately held online media and information platform focused on psychedelic science, therapy, and industry. The company publishes articles covering psychedelic news, clinical research summaries, educational content, people profiles, and business developments across eight substance verticals (Ayahuasca, DMT, Ketamine, Kratom, MDMA, Mescaline, Peyote, and Psilocybin), and maintains a free daily email newsletter for subscriber engagement. Content is produced by a small team described as journalists, business education professionals, and medical doctors, with articles referencing peer-reviewed research from institutions including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, NYU, and UCLA.

The underlying product is a WordPress-based content website (psytechglobal.com) with no mobile app, no API, no proprietary software, and no documented AI or ML components; the technology stack is standard web publishing rather than a custom platform. Beyond editorial, PsyTech operates a narrow consumer-services arm providing sitter services and guided ceremony/retreat facilitation for psilocybin truffle experiences in the Netherlands, where such services are legal, and references the ICEERS facilitator-selection framework as a credibility reference.

Commercially, the business appears to rely on advertising and informal affiliate or referral relationships with smartshops and retreat providers; no pricing is disclosed and no enterprise or subscription products are offered. Customer segments are horizontal — the general public interested in psychedelics, mental health patients and advocates, and researchers/healthcare professionals — with no anchor accounts. Headcount is 1–10 employees, no funding rounds are disclosed, and the company is independently owned with no parent or known investor.
