With over fifteen years founding, scaling, and operating innovative companies across Canada and the Caribbean, Kelsey Ramsden is globally recognized for building multiple multimillion-dollar businesses. She twice earned the honor of being named Canada’s Top Female Entrepreneur and serves on the Entrepreneurship Council for the University of Western Ontario. Kelsey is a renowned thought leader and published author and holds an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario. 

Accomplishments include founding construction firm Belvedere Place Development and residential project-management company Tallus Ridge Development in British Columbia – breaking barriers in traditionally male dominated fields.

“All my life I was the organizer and hub in the spoke of many circles,”“That’s how my MBA world met my psychedelic world.”

 As President and CEO of MINDCURE, Ramsden is banking on a different kind of wealth: mental.  

“There are folks making compounds, folks getting clinical data, folks doing great work in these areas….but I see mental wealth – that’s the investment in ourselves and our body from the neck up – as a market that can be held and served in a revolutionary and integrated way.”

MINDCURE’S mission is to identify and develop products that ease suffering, increase productivity, and enhance mental health. It was born, in part, as a response to the mental health crisis and the need to find effective treatments in areas beyond psychiatry.

 Referring to MINDCURE as the Netflix of Mental Health, Ramsden cites that the company’s digital therapeutics platform iSTRYM has parallel qualities, constantly optimizing and customizing to provide predictive, personalized recommendations.

“Our tech is more deliberate than others’ and at scale, I believe we will have the largest psychedelic repository of human experience data -- which means we can shorten the time it takes to heal.”

With a psychedelic Renaissance underway, Ramsden finds herself a pioneer on a frontier (again) – and with the most precious of commodities. “We have one mind,” she said. “It’s our greatest asset.”
