Welcome back to Business Trip, a podcast about psychedelic entrepreneurship!
Episode 3 features Ryan Zurrer, founder and managing director of Vine Ventures, one of the first venture capital funds investing in psychedelic medicine.
Ryan has deep roots in psychedelics culture (he met his wife at her ayahuasca retreat) and understands the many cultures within the psychedelic space. He created a fund that was aligned by those values.

Why did Ryan start Vine Ventures?
What traits of entrepreneurs Ryan does invest in?
Which form of psychedelic medicine is better: natural or synthetic compounds? 🤔
