We build and fund fast growing ventures for safe access to psychedelics and frontier mental health.
Pink Elephant builds and backs breakthrough mental health companies and the infrastructure enabling the psychedelic era. With 1 in 8 people living with mental disorders and modern therapies reaching only ~5% of those who need them, the care gap is massive. We invest in validated science and scalable platforms, partnering with founders, clinicians, and operators to bring next-generation treatment into the mainstream.
The Role
We are looking for a Program Coordinator to support the day-to-day execution of the Elephant Gate Accelerator, Pink Elephant’s founder support platform for early-stage psychedelic and frontier mental health ventures.
This person will play a critical role in helping each cohort run smoothly by supporting founder and mentor communications, coordinating logistics, maintaining internal systems, and assisting with events and programming. They will serve as a warm, responsive second point of contact for simple operational questions and help ensure that founders, mentors, and partners have a seamless and supportive experience throughout the program.
This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, emotionally attuned, and deeply aligned with the future of psychedelics for healing. We care deeply about mission fit. While tools and workflows can be taught, we are looking for someone who brings genuine passion for the space, a strong harm reduction lens, and a desire to help build the infrastructure for safe, ethical, and scalable psychedelic care.
