#41 - Stephane Lasme: Respecting and Investing in Iboga

Stephane Lasme is a retired professional basketball player from Gabon and the co-founder and managing director of Stedde Capital, an investment firm focusing on opportunities within the realms of sports ownership, infrastructure, technology, and plant medicine – including iboga and ibogaine – in the United States and Africa. As a professional athlete, Stephane began his career in the NBA, and went on to play in the EuroLeague for Spain, Greece, and Turkey, among other teams. Stephane is also the founder of the 13 Foundation, which provides opportunities for children and youth in his hometown of Port-Gentil, Gabon.

What We Discuss

Defining moments, on and off the court
The 13 Foundation – how it started and how it’s grown
Growing up with iboga
The importance of privacy and cultural respect when working with iboga
How Stephane’s company is investing in the future iboga
Stedde Capital, sustainability, and the overharvesting of iboga
Harm Reduction: comparing ibogaine to conventional pharmaceuticals
The healing potential of iboga: what we’re missing
The future of ibogaine treatment in the face of rising popularity

Why It’s Important

Growing up in Gabon, iboga was a household medicine for Stephane Lasme and his family. After many years as a professional athlete – and away from his culture – Stephane’s reconnection with iboga has led to the creation of a company putting real money into research, right in Gabon. We learn from Stephane that even though it has played an important role in his life, talking about iboga and his experiences with it isn’t always so important. His passion lies in investing in the future of this medicine through meaningful research and investigation alongside those who’ve grown up with it too.
