Engineering the
Future of Human
Health
Derisking the biotech frontier through expert scientific due diligence and diversification.
Our Thesis
The biology of aging is now tractable
Biology fails before we do. Over 4 million people need organ transplants annually — fewer than 5% receive one. Chronic diseases and aging drive tissue degeneration, and no integrated system exists to regenerate, replace, and maintain human health.
We are building that system. Longevity Venture Fund I targets a $250B+ market across regenerative medicine, cell therapies, organ transplantation, longevity medicine, and medical tourism.
We back founders at the earliest stages — writing conviction checks, taking board seats, and staying committed through the full company-building journey.
We started the fund with three companies that are better together and ready to add new and innovative strategies to derisk biotech investing.
We are initially raising $20 million to deploy across our founding portfolio and pipeline of breakthrough longevity opportunities.
"Regeneration when possible. Replacement when necessary. Longevity for everyone."

Focus Areas
Six frontiers defining the longevity revolution
Epigenetic Reprogramming
Partial cellular reprogramming using Yamanaka factors and next-generation approaches to reverse epigenetic age, restore tissue function, and potentially extend healthspan by decades.
Clinical Delivery & Medical Tourism
Capitalizing on the rapidly growing global medical tourism market by connecting patients to cutting-edge longevity treatments abroad — enabling clinical delivery of therapies not yet available domestically at scale.
AI-Driven Drug & Advanced Cellular Therapy
Machine learning and large biological models accelerating the identification of novel longevity targets, compound screening, and clinical trial design — combined with next-generation cellular therapies engineered for precision and scale.
Advanced Transplantation Strategies
Pioneering the next frontier in organ transplantation — from xenotransplantation using gene-edited animal organs to 3D bioprinting of patient-specific tissues, expanding the supply of transplantable organs and reducing immune rejection.
Peptide Development
Advancing the discovery and development of therapeutic peptides — highly targeted, bioactive molecules that modulate aging pathways, tissue repair, metabolic function, and cellular signaling with precision.
iPSC Differentiation & Manufacturing
Developing autologous and allogeneic Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) differentiation protocols and scalable manufacturing processes to produce patient-ready cell therapies that combat chronic diseases and restore organ function.
Portfolio
Backing the builders
