Finding the next Tesla means finding the next hotshot player in an existing industry with a new twist, or in a brand new industry that stands to emerge out of the dramatic ashes of a global pandemic.
For the EV sector itself, it means a potential rival to Tesla that might do the unthinkable: Make EVs feasible for the masses at a time when the coronavirus has injected a sense of urgency in the climate change debate.
For pharma, it’s about finding the biggest potential in the race for a vaccine, and a sudden impetus to speed up a litany of medical solutions for a range of diseases that have plagued us forever.
And then, there’s a new industry that has investors scrambling to find somewhere to park their money because it’s as tricky as it is potentially lucrative: Psychedelics 2.0, where magic mushrooms and LSD are reinvented and reformulated as a solution to our most crippling mental health problems.
The two guys who built one of Canada’s leading cannabis companies are now building what could end up being a leading psychedelics healthcare company, taking biotech and nature’s medical offerings to an entirely new level.
The trick to finding the next Tesla is finding the one that has legs beyond the hype.
For the biotech companies involved in the race, massive profits are at stake, but while the biggest players will gain (think Pfizer, Moderna, etc), and the small-caps are higher risk but potentially wildly lucrative, our pic is a slightly safer mid-cap such as CureVac, which lowers the risk but still leaves the door open for major gains for investors in the event of a vaccine.
CureVac is unique because it’s developing a “messenger RNA vaccine” and its candidate (CVnCoV) is in Phase 1 clinical trials right now, with experimental vaccine Phases 2 and 3 hoping to launch before the end of this year.

Chances are that others (Moderna and German Biontech) could get to the market first, but CureVac is different and has potentially farther-reaching applications, including in other vaccines, cancer therapies, antibody therapies and rare diseases. Even if they don’t win the actual race, CureVac is hoping to win the award for the best vaccine solution.
