Brom Rector is the founder and general partner of Empath Ventures, a venture capital fund that invests in early stage startups focused on psychedelic medicine. Prior to founding Empath, Brom spent 7 years as a portfolio manager and quantitative researcher - most recently managing a global macro portfolio for Crabel Capital Management - a Los Angeles-based hedge fund with $8B AUM. After leaving Crabel in 2020, Brom started The Integration Conversation/The Brom Podcast, a long-form video podcast that covers the psychedelics industry from an investing perspective. The research that went into this podcast and the connections it established laid the groundwork for what would become Empath Ventures. Find out more at: https://www.empath.vc/ https://www.brom.fm/
