BrainMind is an ecosystem and platform for impact-oriented company creation in brain and mind science. The BrainMind Ecosystem is the first and only cross-disciplinary community of top brain scientists, entrepreneurs, philanthropists, and academic institutions collaborating to accelerate impactful innovation in the BrainMind fields. The Ecosystem supports the full spectrum of idea formation across neuroscience and the study of the human mind, from basic science research to commercial ventures. Brain science is in the midst of a transformative step change in capacity, akin to the sequencing of the human genome in genetics or development of nuclear fission in physics. During this vulnerable period for the field, the BrainMind ecosystem will both trailblaze ethical stewardship and catalyze impact-maximizing innovation using the following guiding principles: 1. Build a collaborative roadmap for effective forward progress in the science of the brain and mind with top scientists and leaders in the field. 2. Within this wider roadmap, surface and focus special attention on the areas and ideas that are currently under-supported relative to their importance. 3. Leverage new philosophies of capital formation and infuse leaders in the entrepreneurial, investing, and philanthropic communities to support these pivotal ideas from the lab to society
