Building such a moonshot is hard. Chances should improve with a good co-founder. This is very valuable to me, and I want you to be rewarded if you help spread the word and find the right person.

"Rage, rage against the dying of the light" Dylan Thomas wrote this about his dying father. Today, it's our battle cry. Every day we accept aging as "natural" is another day we lose 110,000 lives. The time for gentle acceptance is over.

Aging is stealing more lives than any war, pandemic, or disaster. Yet we treat it like “just a part of life.”
