The life sciences company, Cybin Corp, just announced the closing of a private placement offering for aggregate gross proceeds of CDN $45 million–the largest in the Canadian sector. Through a reverse takeover by Clarmin and a wholly owned subsidiary of Clarmin, Cybin will undergo a reverse takeover (RTO) to go public. The firm will use the investment to advance their robust pipeline of psychedelic-based products through clinical development. 

Cybin Corp CEO Doug Drysdale had this to say about the historic undertaking:

“I am very proud of the CYBIN team for closing Canada’s largest go-public financing in the psychedelic sector, raising C$45,000,000. Further, the list of blue-chip US biotech funds that have put their confidence in CYBIN is very humbling. This capital raise provides the resources we need to progress our clinical programs and expand our IP portfolio, moving us closer to helping patients with mental illness.”
