📢 Announcements 

• I’ve joined On Deck as Program Director for their Longevity Biotech Fellowship. After working every day, night, and weekend straight, we launched the program last Tuesday. The launch was an incredible success thanks to the amazing Founding Fellows and speakers of the program, the On Deck team, my awesome program partner Ada Nguyen -- and this super epic tweetstorm by Balaji Srinivasan.

  • Why: We need more people working on longevity, especially founders! So we are doing something about it.

  • Mission: On Deck Longevity Biotech (ODLB) has a simple mission: To increase the number of people working to build longevity biotech companies.

  • Who: The fellowship program takes in people who want to DO something about the problem of aging: Founders, aspiring founders, operators looking to join a startup, or investors, regardless of whether you have the “right” background or not. (See Ben Kamens, Matt Scholz, Reason, etc for examples)

  • What: ODLB is a continuous community program that runs year-long with workshops, deep dives with industry experts, 1:1 mentorship, curated connections, social & networking events, and some exciting in-person events post-COVID.

  • When: The deadline for applications for the first cohort is August 31st. Applicants will be accepted on a rolling basis so applying earlier will increase your chances of securing a spot. The first cohort kicks off on September 12th.

  • Cost: Academic pricing is available. Financing plans are available. There are scholarships from On Deck’s Access Fund, too. I will be funding several scholarships out of my own pocket.

    • We’re committed to ensuring that any talented person who deserves to get into the program can do so regardless of their financial situation.

  • Personal note: I already had my hands full with my other longevity
