Longevity Investments
Hey Jeffrey,
I've got a whole file and tons of research on the latest longevity plays everyone is investing in. My buddy is doing a big play in this area that I'm investing in and helping out with. Could be a game changer - it's based on the thesis I mentioned about reducing the time it takes for the cost of longevity treatments to become affordable and widespread like cell phones as opposed to an elite service like private planes.
If we can shrink the timeframe it takes to drop the cost and the accessibility of major longevity protocols to a 5-10 year time frame we can avert a gerontological economic class war that will probably be fought with nano-bots & customized designed viruses which is very hard to win in asymmetric warfare.
Here are a few teaser links to whet your mental appetite. Let me know if you want more - or want to see our stack we are developing. Or even if you want to throw some money into the pie as a co-investor.
