Edrolo, Morse Micro and Sitemate were all startups I was unable to invest in because I didn't have the available capital.

Longevity: Exclusive Privilege or Societal Benefit? Longevity stands at a strategic crossroads. Investors and leaders must decide whether this movement should remain accessible only to wealthy target groups or strive for broader societal access. Should Longevity be an unregulated luxury for the elite, or should we invest heavily in evidence-based, personalized preventive therapies supported by national funds? In the long term, this could yield significant health and socioeconomic benefits. The first path is easier and requires no extensive evidence or transparency. However, if we pursue the second path, we could achieve sustainable health benefits for a broader population. Are the current Longevity players ready to take on this demanding challenge?

It’s time to think strategically and keep the long-term benefit for all in mind. #Longevity #Strategy #HealthEconomics #Socioeconomics #Innovation #Equity
