Longevity is one of the most interesting topics I've been curious about. Alex is the cofounder of Age1 - they catalyze contrarian, founder-led companies that will increase healthy human lifespan, yielding the most valuable companies to ever exist. Through their investments, they strive for counterfactual impact. They are creating a future where all people have agency over how long they live in good health. Our vision is to make aging and age-related disease optional for all.
I recorded this episode in Delhi - what a time to record! We started with the impact of AQI on lifespan & talk about the impact of pincode on your lifespan. Longevity feels like a field where you need to spend a ton of time in research but Alex shared his views on how we can get started with a lot less.
It was interesting to get his thoughts on how young people are approaching the field & the progress we've already made. The contribution of Age1 has been quite phenomenal in the field & their dedication to help more people get started.
I've a lot of homework to do in the field & I find it quite exciting. I hope this episode can convince you to get started as well. Here's a good place to start reading in case you're curious: https://www.timeinitiative.org/resources
