Launched in 2021 by Roblox founder and CEO David Baszucki and best-selling author Jan Ellison Baszucki, Baszucki Group leverages private giving, impact investing, advocacy, storytelling and community building to drive foundational change.
Our primary objective as a philanthropy is to transform mental health outcomes, beginning with bipolar disorder, with therapies that recognize neurometabolism as a key driver of healthy brain function. Our investments in democracy, conservation and our communities are synergistic with our life sciences initiatives.
Our work emphasizes innovative platforms and programs in five primary areas:
Metabolic Neuroscience & Mental Health
Biomedical Initiatives
Democracy
Environmental Conservation
Community Projects
