About us
Compass Pathways is a biotechnology company dedicated to accelerating patient access to evidence-based innovation in mental health.
Our purpose
We connect science and compassion to reimagine mental health care.
Millions of people across the world live with mental illnesses for which there are few good options.
We are determined to change that.
Our first major initiative is developing investigational COMP360 psilocybin treatment through a global phase 3 programme for people living with treatment-resistant depression. Read more about our science.
Our stories
Everyone has a story about how mental illness has affected them or someone they know. Our people bring their stories, and a wide range of backgrounds and skills, to Compass.
Our values
We’ve put a lot of thought into the kind of organisation we want to be, and our values guide every decision we make. They define who we are, what we do, and how we do it.
- Compassion Everything we do is rooted in compassion. We care deeply about reducing people’s suffering, and we harness that passion to drive our work forward.
- Boldness We don’t accept the status quo. We believe major transformation is needed to reduce human suffering.
- Rigour We follow the evidence and pursue what works. We base every decision on meticulous research for the best possible outcomes.
- Inclusivity We want to improve mental health care for every person who needs help, regardless of their background or identity. We collaborate openly with stakeholders to find ways to accelerate innovation and access for all.
