Beond Inc., the world’s most experienced ibogaine treatment provider with clinical operations based in Cancún, Mexico, established its U.S. headquarters in Austin as Texas positions itself as the nation’s leading center for neuroplasticity medicine.
Texas committed $100 million to ibogaine research through a bill signed by Gov. Greg Abbott and championed by State Representative Cody Harris. The state has built a coalition of clinicians, policymakers, and researchers focused on tackling behavioral health challenges. Beond has conducted thousands of medically supervised ibogaine treatments at its flagship center in Cancún—more than any other operator—while much of the U.S. conversation around ibogaine remains theoretical.
Beond’s co-founder and CEO Tom Feegel emphasized the company’s operational depth: “As policymakers, researchers and clinicians align around the potential of ibogaine to address the most complex challenges in brain and behavioral health, it’s critical that organizations with real clinical experience are part of that conversation.” The company brings the largest real-world dataset, operational expertise, safety-first clinical frameworks, and client-centric approaches to the field’s next phase.
Austin Operations Focus
The Austin headquarters will focus on research, preparation, integration, and data infrastructure rather than ibogaine treatment delivery within the U.S. Beond is building a U.S.-based leadership team spanning clinical medicine, hospitality, program design, and technology development. The company’s goals include talent acquisition across these areas, AI-driven data infrastructure and outcomes tracking, pre-treatment preparation and post-treatment integration for U.S. clients, and development of U.S.-based clinical pathways as the regulatory landscape evolves. The White House is reportedly considering an executive order to advance ibogaine research, adding to momentum building at federal and state levels.
