Code and compliance for the psychedelic industry.

A funding round closes or a big deal lands, and suddenly someone wants forty pages of answers about your data. You’ll have answers either way.

elliodelics makes sure they’re the right ones, for clinics, retreats, researchers, and the companies developing the medicines. Somebody has to stay grounded.

Set, setting, and schema.

  • The biggest contract you’ve ever chased just landed, and nobody knows what the security policy should look like.
  • You’re hiring clinicians but nobody is in charge of the data.
  • An insurer just asked for your incident response plan. You don’t have one.
  • Someone bolted an AI notetaker onto session notes and nobody read its terms.

Regulators are treating psychedelics as medicine, so companies hire the clinical people years before they learn the data needs protocols too: security, retention, what to do when something leaks. Sooner or later, somebody checks. The work here begins with the data instead of the paperwork, so when the questionnaire arrives, the right answers already exist.

The vocabulary we speak, one engineering term paired with one field term.

What we handle.

  • Survive the questionnaire

    An investor’s security review, a partner’s RFP, an insurer’s checklist. We map the data you hold, close the gaps, and write the answers down early.

  • Protect the data

    Data protection as architecture, not paperwork. Minimization, encryption, retention, and GDPR built in from the start.

  • Govern the AI

    The notetakers and chatbots already touching sensitive data. We inventory them, read the terms nobody read, and fence what they reach.

  • Ship the product

    From prototype to production. Platforms, APIs, and the unglamorous plumbing that keeps them standing.

  • Fractional engineering leadership

    A director of engineering without the full-time hire. Hiring, architecture, and roadmaps that tell you the truth.

Who runs elliodelics

Mike Elliott, smiling, with a yellow flower in his hair

elliodelics is run by Mike Elliottopens in new tab, who spent fifteen years building products and leading engineering organizations and holds a master's in psychedelics and consciousness.

elliodelics is deliberately small. It’s always Mike, plus trusted collaborators for design, compliance, or research when the work calls for them. No bench, no handoffs.
