Underwrite the moment veterans come home.
Psychedelic Vets is standing infrastructure for the veteran community at the center of the most consequential mental-health research in a generation. A small number of Founding Partners can help fund that work — and grow with the platform from the ground floor.
A verified veteran audience no one else aggregates
Psychedelic Vets gathers, in one place, the studies actively recruiting veterans, the legal landscape state by state, and the research findings as they publish — favorable or not. It's built to be permanent: not a campaign, a funnel, or a moment, but standing infrastructure the veteran community can rely on indefinitely. A Founding Partner isn't buying impressions on a media property. They're underwriting that infrastructure at the moment it's being laid.
Ground-floor position, locked in now
Rather than wait for scale to publish a rate card, we offer a few partners a ground-floor entry: fees indexed to real audience metrics, so you pay almost nothing today and grow with the platform under terms you lock in now. You're buying position, not impressions.
Category exclusivity
You're the only brand in your category, for the life of the agreement — no one else in your lane on the platform.
A discount that never expires
Twenty-five percent off any rate card we ever publish, guaranteed for three years. The earlier you're in, the more that's worth.
Permanent Founding Partner standing
Recognized as a founding backer for good — the designation survives even if the relationship later changes shape.
First look at everything new
First right of refusal on new inventory — an interview series, events — before it's ever offered to anyone else.
Low risk by design: either side can step out at the close of any quarter, 30 days' notice, no penalty.
Reserved by fit, not sold to the highest bidder
We hold five non-competing categories, one partner apiece, and we'll launch with only one or two. If your category is taken, it's taken; if it's open, it's yours to claim. We'd rather carry two partners we believe in than five logos.
Coffee & beverage
The morning ritual of the veteran community. Founder-led challenger brands over corporates.
Sleep & recovery wearables
Recovery hardware and wearables that help veterans rebuild the unglamorous foundations — sleep, regulation, rest.
Meditation & breathwork apps
Mind-body tools that pair naturally with the preparation and integration work we teach.
Outdoor recreation
Gear and experiences that get veterans moving, outdoors, and back into a unit of some kind.
Veteran financial services
Banking, insurance, and investing built for the way service members and veterans actually live.
You grow with the platform
Entry starts low and is indexed to real, verified audience metrics — the size of our email list and the reach of a monthly sponsored placement. As the platform grows, the fee follows the audience, never faster. It's a small bet now that becomes a fair one later, on terms you set today.
Fees track verified numbers from real dashboards — not a figure we invented.
A modest monthly minimum keeps it real on both sides; the fee can never jump beyond audience growth itself.
We true up every quarter, and either side can leave at any quarter's close.

What sponsorship will never buy
These are written into every agreement. They protect the veterans we serve — and, in the end, they protect a partner's reputation too.
Editorial independence
Sponsors have no say over content, coverage, or tone. We don't sell coverage, and there's no sponsored editorial.
The studies directory is off-limits
No sponsor presence on, beside, or linked from the research veterans rely on. Ever.
Microdosing Vets is firewalled
Our active dissertation research site carries no sponsorship of any kind while research is under way.
No health-claim co-marketing
We will not tie a partner's product to therapeutic outcomes.
Clear disclosure
Every placement is labeled as sponsored, per FTC guidance. Readers always know.
Fit over fee
We decline any brand whose products or marketing conflict with the mission — whatever the offer.
Your support funds the mission directly
Founding Partner fees flow into the same giving pledge that funds the rest of Psychedelic Vets — veteran treatment grants, scholarships to the nonprofits that get veterans into legal, clinically guided care, and the work of moving research to the people it's for. Backing the platform isn't a logo placement; it's capital doing visible good for the veteran community.
Let's talk.
If your brand serves veterans, athletes, or anyone doing the work of recovery — and you'd like in at the ground floor — we'd like to hear from you. Tell us who you are and the category you'd fill, and we'll send the full Founding Partner details.
