Welcome back Vitalians!

Last month we announced the launch of our new Venture Studio - VitaLabs - now we would like to give you more information on how you can get involved!!

In order to attract top talent into VitaLabs, we are running a Fellowship program looking for creative and independent thinkers passionate about longevity to collaborate, ideate, and develop groundbreaking ideas.

We're looking for ideas that could result in longevity therapeutics or diagnostics, but are perhaps too early, risky or “out-of-the-box” for traditional funding. The bolder and more disruptive the better!

We are currently in the Ideation Stage of our roadmap!

Prospective Fellows are required to ideate with the community and submit a project proposal by 30th December 2024, with up to 4 projects receiving a split of $200k from VitaDAO.

VitaLabs will then commission CROs to conduct experiments, with promising projects then going on to be minted as an IP-NFT and tokenised (IPT) to raise further funding, and potentially spun out into new start-ups. 

Project leads (2 per project max) of funded projects will become VitaLabs Fellows, receiving: mentorship and support, a minimum of 10% of IPTs, a $2k/month stipend for 4 months and a performance bonus in VITA tokens.

However, you don't need to be a project lead to get involved and get rewards - we will also be offering IPTs for community members who make creative/intellectual contributions to funded projects, no matter how small!

What do I need to know? 

Whether or not you have an idea, please apply to the VitaLabs Fellowship Program. Then come and join the VitaLabs channel in VitaDAO’s Discord and introduce yourself!

If you have an idea, great, come and discuss your idea with the VitaDAO community on the channel. We’ll all help you to strengthen your idea and formulate a plan to put a solid funding proposal together.

If you don't have an idea, don’t worry, come and join the discussions for any projects that interest you and be
