Investment Thesis

The firm pursues an explicitly longevity-oriented, technology-enabled investment thesis: they believe “To solve aging, we need to understand the molecular, cellular and higher level processes driving it in the organism, and find ways to interfere with them so as to stop/slow down the process, or even reverse aspects of it to a younger state.” At the same time they emphasize empowering people through technology and organizing knowledge to augment decision-making—backing companies that expand human lifespan or accelerate progress in biotech, and complementary frontier technology (AI, robotics) led by exceptional founders.
