Unique company devoted to creating awareness of an individual's Perception Box to provoke acceptance of self and others.
About us
Founded by creator, writer, philanthropist and entrepreneur Elizabeth Koch, Unlikely Collaborators is devoted to self-investigation through awareness of an individual’s Perception Box which is built from the material of your beliefs, and has the power to distort your reality and leave you feeling isolated, disconnected, and fearful. We’ll show you how to understand and work with your Perception Box—how to overcome the limiting beliefs that hold you back, expand the possibilities of perception, and invite in new ways of seeing and being seen. We create Unlikely Collaborations through: UNLIKELY IMPACT We support leaders and learners, communities and cohorts, committed to disarming societal and institutional Perception Box issues to collaborate in unlikely ways that further untangle Perception Box stories from within. UNLIKELY INVESTMENTS We invest in leaders who not only expand Perception Boxes but who unceasingly, unpretentiously seek to expand their own. While most of our investments have been at the early stages across areas like mental health and wellness, neurotechnology and psychedelic medicine, we’re open to all manner of unpredictable collaborations. UNLIKELY STORYTELLERS Our books, programs, and media embrace writers, creators, and audiences who push beyond stereotypes; celebrate stories that explore the white space between the lines of our lives, that ask more questions than give answers, and that rattle the walls of our Perception Boxes—expanding the boundaries of who we think we are, and what we think we know. UNLIKELY EXPERIENCES Our experiences use a process of self-investigation that encompasses principles and practices from eastern and western thought, meditation, psychology, and neuroscience—designed to expand your understanding of self, others, and the whole damned world. This process can be fun, torturous, hilarious, berserk—but never boring. When you take the time to truly investigate your Perception Box, you discover something shocking.

Unlikely Collaborators is so proud to announce our partnership today with Mindshift Recovery, a new non-profit organization in the addiction recovery space. We are working together to address the critical problems of accessibility, support, and the integration of modern science in addiction recovery, including introduce innovative evidence-based in-person and online programs, a mobile app, and support groups for individuals in recovery. This partnership leverages the latest science in behavior change and mindfulness, including the pioneering work of addiction psychiatrist and neuroscientist Jud Brewer, MD, PhD, and Unlikely Collaborators Founder Elizabeth R. Koch. “Addiction recovery is so incredibly personal, no two roads look alike," says Koch. "What’s so powerful about Mindshift Recovery’s approach is it directly addresses, using scientifically-proven tools, the unique set of limiting beliefs each person is suffering from, perfectly aligning with Unlikely Collaborators’ vision of helping individuals gain agency over their own Perception Box."
