"Looking around that room, I couldn't help but be impressed by what One Mind had built with this accelerator. In just four years they've created what I'm very comfortable naming the world's best mental health accelerator." — Steve Duke, The Hemingway Report We are humbled and honored by this recognition. What started as a bold vision has grown into something truly special, and it only exists because of the founders, partners, mentors, and advocates who show up every single day for this community and for the people mental health innovation is meant to serve. This is what happens when the right people come together around the right mission. ▶︎ Read the full piece: hemingwayau.substack.com/p/a… #MentalHealth #Innovation #HealthCare #HealthTech #2026OMA #OneMind #Accelerator

Congratulations to Motif Neurotech on receiving FDA approval to begin a feasibility trial for their brain implant for treatment-resistant depression! @motifneuro was part of the 2023 One Mind Accelerator cohort, and watching them reach this milestone is exactly why we do this work. Founded by @JTRobinsonLab, the team has pioneered a remarkable approach: a blueberry-sized device implanted in the skull that delivers targeted brain stimulation, activated simply by wearing a hat. It's the kind of innovation that sounds like science fiction until it isn't. Treatment-resistant depression affects millions of people who have exhausted conventional options. Motif is working to change that, and today, they're one important step closer. ▶︎ Read more via STAT News: statnews.com/2026/04/27/moti… #BrainHealth #MentalHealth #OneMindAccelerator #Neurotech #Innovation #Depression #MedTech

The final day of the 2026 One Mind Accelerator closing week marked the culmination of an incredible journey, bringing the cohort together for Demo Day! The day began with breakfast at Baylands Café in Palo Alto, followed by a group walk along the Baylands, offering a moment to connect, recharge, and reflect ahead of the day’s events. The afternoon opened with the Frontiers in Mental Health Summit, featuring remarks from CEO of @OneMindOrg, Kathleen M. Pike, PhD, and a series of forward-looking discussions on the future of the field. From market trends and opportunities with Hemingway Founder @thesteveduke, to emerging insights on metabolic psychiatry, brain-computer interfaces, and neuroadaptive intelligence from Drs. Scott C. Fears (@Amae_Health & @UCLA), @SumnerLN (@merge), @MaryamShanechi (@USC), and @NinaVasan, MD, MBA (@Stanford), the session highlighted the innovation shaping what’s next in mental health.

Day 2 of the 2026 One Mind Accelerator closing week focused on preparation, storytelling, and connection as founders gear up for Demo Day. After breakfast the day began with a Demo Day dress rehearsal, giving founders the opportunity to refine their pitches and messaging ahead of their final presentations. Late morning featured a special fireside conversation with entrepreneur, investor, and bestselling author, Tim Ferriss (@tferriss). "Take your pain and create your medicine," Ferriss shared, offering insights on performance, resilience, and building with intention.

Closing week of the 2026 One Mind Accelerator kicked off yesterday at the Allied Arts Guild in Menlo Park, CA, bringing the cohort back together to reflect, refine, and prepare for what’s ahead.

Motif Neurotech (2023 cohort) has launched a new patient registry designed to connect people living with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) with future clinical research opportunities. TRD affects individuals who have tried multiple therapies but have not found durable relief. By creating this registry, Motif aims to help accelerate research and identify individuals who may be interested in participating in upcoming clinical trials exploring new approaches to treatment. If you or someone you know may be seeking better therapies or more durable solutions for TRD, you can learn more and join the registry here: registry.motifneuro.tech/ We’re proud to see portfolio companies like @motifneuro living out the spirit of the One Mind Accelerator and advancing solutions that could expand options for people living with difficult-to-treat conditions. ▶︎ Learn more about the One Mind Accelerator: onemind.org/what-we-do/one-m… #Depression #Research #MentalHealth #Innovation #OneMind
