Who's behind KetCon
If you got an email from me and wondered who this is and how real it is — fair question. That's exactly the instinct KetCon is built around. Here's the honest answer.
Simon Leber
Founder, KetCon
I'm a software developer, and KetCon is mine — I designed it, I write the code, and I send the emails. It's built under softleb, my software practice.
I'm building KetCon because I believe the technology put in front of healthcare professionals should genuinely make your work easier — not harder, the way it so often does. And, honestly, I love what I do, which is building tools I'd actually want to use myself. KetCon is one of those.
Why I'm building this
Ketamine-assisted therapy is safer and better for the patient when the prescriber and the therapist actually know and trust each other. Right now there's no good way to make that connection — it mostly happens through word of mouth and luck. Everything else about this treatment has been thought through carefully. That part hasn't.
So KetCon is a directory where prescribers and therapists can find each other, read enough to form a real opinion, and reach out before they ever share a patient. That's the whole idea. The mission page goes into more depth.
What I am, and what I'm not
I'm not a clinician. I don't practice, I don't prescribe, and I have no clinical training. I won't ever offer you clinical guidance, and KetCon doesn't sit between you and your patients.
A profile here is not my endorsement of anyone. KetCon verifies that a licence is real, and shows you what each professional says about themselves. Judging whether a colleague is the right fit for a specific patient is your call, and it should be — that judgement is the thing KetCon is trying to give you room to make, not replace.
I built the tool. You bring the expertise. That division is deliberate, and I'd rather say so plainly than let a polished website imply otherwise.
How KetCon is run
It's early, and I won't pretend otherwise
KetCon is in beta and the directory is still small. That's why I'm writing to people one at a time rather than waiting for a launch — every clinician who joins early makes it more useful for the next one. You can see exactly what's shipped and when on the changelog.
Every email you get from me, I sent
Nothing here is automated outreach. I research each person, write the email myself, and send it by hand. If you reply, you're replying to me — not to a queue, and not to a sales team, because there isn't one.
Free for professionals, permanently
Finding partners and getting matched with colleagues is free for professionals, and it always will be. If patients eventually book a care team through KetCon, we'll charge a fee for handling that payment and the coordination around it. That's the only thing we plan to charge for.
I don't sell your data and I don't track you around the internet. The privacy policy spells out where every piece of information goes.
Ask me anything
If something here doesn't answer your question, ask me directly. I read and answer everything myself, and I'd genuinely rather hear a hard question than not hear from you.
Come see for yourself
The best answer to "is this real?" is the directory itself. Have a look at who's already here, and add yourself if it feels useful.
