Last year at Vitalist Bay: - Longevity companies raised capital from top investors - A billionaire became a vitalist on-site - Six people found the loves of their lives (It’s not always easy to find someone who’s equally into health and longevity) + who knows what never reached

I tracked every billionaire who died in the last decade. 389 deaths. $2.17 trillion in wealth. 6 helicopter crashes. Here's what I found.

I'm so done with real estate agents What an absolutely useless profession in 2026 Nowadays when I go visit houses to buy you get the construction company guy tell you everything anyway, and they actually know their stuff And then you have some literally low IQ shady car

1/ Richard K. Burt works at the edge where regenerative medicine stops being a story and starts becoming a clinical question. That’s where things get interesting — and where most people stop looking closely enough. One time discount at the end.

1/ Jacob Peters’ bet: the biggest company in healthcare may not be a hospital, insurer, or drugmaker. It may be the AI doctor that becomes your first stop — the system that sees your data, catches risk early, and helps decide what to do next. One time discount at the end.

1/ Amy Killen, MD’s sharpest lens: women’s aging doesn’t show up all at once. Some of the earliest shifts happen upstream—then echo outward into energy, recovery, body composition, cognition, skin, bone, and sexual health. One time discount at the end.

1/ After selling his last company to Comcast NBCUniversal, Chris Bradley could have stayed comfortable. He didn't. He went back to zero — this time to fix the thing that kills everyone. Here's what he's building at Matter Bio: One-time discount at the end.

1/ Matt Scholz flips the script: longevity isn’t always about adding something. Sometimes it’s removing cells that refuse to die — and quietly degrade everything around them.

1/ A CS engineer walks out of Palantir — one of the hardest jobs to land in tech — to build surgical robots that help humans replace aging organs. Meet Dylan McGuire, founder of Aleph Surgical.

1/ Mac Davis’ pattern interrupt: gene therapy isn’t a miracle moment. It’s a control problem — dose, duration, monitoring. If you can’t steer it, you can’t trust it.

1/ Most people think cryonics is sci-fi. Eric Magro is building the political infrastructure to make it policy. He co-founded the Cryosphere Foundation and runs ops at LongeviPAC — the first PAC backing pro-longevity candidates. Here's why that matters.

1/ After 25 years in telecom C-suite, Todd White quit to chase a harder problem: most drug programs fail because aging biology is still pre-commercial. His bet: build CERN for aging — shared datasets, open tools, 200+ species biobank. Todd White

1/ Emil Kendziorra spent years as a cancer researcher trying to extend human lifespan. He quit. Said progress was "way too slow." Now he runs Emil Kendziorra, M.D. Tomorrow.Bio — Europe's first cryonics lab. Here's why he bet everything on freezing people. 🧬

1/ You trust systems because they’ve worked so far. Ralph Merkle helped invent the idea that you should verify, not trust—especially when the stakes scale and incentives get weird.

1/ Dave Messina’s pattern interrupt: most health startups don’t die from bad science. They die in the last mile — workflow, incentives, reimbursement. Reality is the killer feature.

1/ Elaine Shi joined a classmate's MBA thesis project because he was her friend. When business school ended, he returned to the Air Force full-time. She kept going alone. 12 years later: BodySpec has served 300,000+ people.

1/ You think longevity advice is gender-neutral. Kayla Barnes-Lentz will challenge that: female longevity has different constraints—hormones, cycles, fertility tradeoffs, and research gaps that change how you interpret data.

I’m excited to launch the Longevity Biotech Atlas, a personal project mapping 700+ organizations across the aging and longevity ecosystem. Longevity biotech is moving fast. A lot of the public narrative has centered on GLP-1s, peptides, biohacking, and consumer health
