Ozan Polat

Ozan Polat is a Partner at Vine Ventures based in Switzerland, where he directs early-stage venture capital investments across the conscious health and wellness sectors. At Vine Ventures, he specifically targets pre-seed and seed-stage companies operating within the European Union, utilizing a structural model that allocates 50% of the firm's generated profits directly to mental health initiatives. Demonstrating this investment thesis, Polat led an $8 million Series A funding round for Othership, an emerging mental health community platform, in June 2023. Prior to his current institutional investment role, he co-founded Dezentrum, a specialized research think tank dedicated to analyzing and modeling positive future scenarios within rapidly digitized societies. Polat’s current professional focus remains firmly centered on advancing life sciences, psychedelic therapies, and societal innovation through targeted early-stage capital deployment.
