History

Our Story

Greendoor wasn’t built in a lab — it was born out of lived experience, late nights, and a relentless drive to think more clearly in a world that demands too much.

It started with one question:
What if there were better ways to optimize how we think, focus, and function?

From Brain Fog to Cognitive Clarity

Years ago, Liam T. Donovan — now Greendoor’s founder and lead researcher — found himself stuck in a cycle of fatigue, distraction, and mental underperformance. Like many, he turned to conventional advice: sleep more, eat better, cut caffeine. It helped, but not enough.

Then he discovered nootropics. Not as magic pills, but as powerful tools — when used wisely.

His experimentation with Modafinil opened the door to deeper research, smarter protocols, and a lifelong passion for understanding the science of peak mental performance. That door became Greendoor.

Evolving with the Landscape

At first, Greendoor was a personal log — a place to document stacks, review experiences, and explore neuroscience. But over time, it attracted a community of students, professionals, and biohackers asking the same questions:

  • What actually works?
  • What’s safe long-term?
  • What are the trade-offs?
  • How do I do this responsibly?

Today, Greendoor serves as a research-informed platform for navigating nootropics, blending scientific analysis with practical insight — without the hype, and without the gatekeeping.

What Drives Us

We’re not interested in selling trends. We care about:

  • Helping people think more clearly, ethically, and autonomously
  • Making cognitive tools and education more accessible
  • Challenging assumptions about enhancement, health, and fairness
  • Creating a future where performance doesn’t come at the cost of well-being

Greendoor is still growing, but the mission remains the same:
Empower people to optimize their minds with knowledge, not noise.

  • Frequently Asked Questions

    What are nootropics? Nootropics — sometimes called “smart drugs” or cognitive enhancers — are substances that may improve mental functions like memory, focus, alertness, or motivation. Some are prescription medications (e.g., modafinil, methylphenidate), while others are over-the-counter compounds, herbs, or dietary supplements. Are nootropics safe? Safety depends entirely on the compound, the dosage, the individual,…
