Safe, Effective Prescription Mental Wellness. For Everyone.
Tactogen is a pharmatech startup developing the next generation of MDMA-like medicines. Founded by Genentech data science leader and PhD neuroscientist Matthew Baggott and deeptech serial entrepreneur Luke Pustejovsky, Compared to existing psychedelics, our gentler, less euphoric compounds can facilitate psychotherapy, decision-making, and psychological growth while having less need for the expensive clinical monitoring. Our IP includes drug discovery methods, novel molecules, and pharmaceutical preparations. These all focus on one goal: enabling safer take-home prescription empathogens. We believe this will be the key to effective and accessible mental wellness. Tactogen: Effective Prescription Mental Wellness. For Everyone.
