Toward the greater good

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.
A primary objective of Baszucki Group is to transform mental health outcomes, beginning with bipolar disorder, by supporting initiatives at the intersection of metabolism, psychiatry and neuroscience. 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:

Introducing Metabolic Mind™

Jan, Dave and Matt Baszucki share their family’s story of recovery from mental illness aided by a ketogenic metabolic therapy with 100 years of evidence in epilepsy. Experts in the emerging fields of metabolic psychiatry and metabolic neuroscience discuss new approaches to understanding and treating mental disorders.

Metabolic Mind is a nonprofit initiative incubated by Baszucki Group. Its mission over time will be to provide resources and build community in metabolic psychiatry.
