You spend significant time thinking about the longevity of your portfolio companies. The allocation of capital across market cycles. The compounding of returns over decades. Rarely do you apply the same rigour to the decades of your own life — to what you are optimising for, and whether the current trajectory will actually get you there.
This retreat closes the year with that inquiry. Sergey Young — longevity investor, founder of the Longevity Vision Fund, and author of The Science and Technology of Growing Young — brings the investment framework he uses in his professional life and applies it with precision to the design of a life itself.
The longevity field has moved from fringe to frontier. The science is real. The timelines are compressing. The decisions you make about your own biology in the next five years will determine the options available in the next fifty. Most people making those decisions are not investors. Most investors are not yet making those decisions with the rigour they deserve.
This retreat applies investment-grade thinking to the design of a long life — and to the deeper question of what that life is actually for.
«The longest-lived people in history didn’t just extend their years. They had a reason to use them.»
Focus: What is actually happening in longevity science — with the clarity of someone who has deployed capital into it.
Not hype, not pessimism. A sober, investor-grade view of where longevity science is now, what is coming in the next decade, and what the implications are for the decisions you make today.
Focus: Applying investment principles to the design of a life.
A portfolio optimised only for financial return is underallocated. The most sophisticated investors understand that a life well-designed is also a life well-invested — across health, relationships, purpose, and contribution. Day Two builds the model.
Focus: What is the life you are actually trying to build?
The final day moves from analysis to design. Not as an abstract exercise in goal-setting, but as a precise act of clarification: given everything you know about where you are, where the science is going, and what actually matters, what are you building toward?
Sergey Young is a longevity investor and visionary who has made it his mission to make longevity accessible to millions. He is the founder of the Longevity Vision Fund — a $100M fund dedicated to longevity and life extension technologies — and the author of The Science and Technology of Growing Young. He sits on the Board of Directors of XPRIZE as a sponsor of the Age Reversal XPRIZE competition.
His work occupies a unique position: he is simultaneously deploying capital into longevity science at scale and developing practical frameworks for the rest of us to benefit from it now, without waiting for technologies that may arrive in the next decade. He brings both horizons to this retreat.
A personal longevity protocol — specific to your biology, your metrics, and your life horizon — with a commitment to implement it.
An investor-grade understanding of where longevity science actually is — and what decisions that implies for the next 5 years.
A life portfolio model — a clear picture of where you are over- and underallocated, and what rebalancing requires.
A 10-year vision document — concrete, specific, and operational — with the metrics to track whether you are building toward it.
Investors, founders, and operators who are serious about the long game — not just in their professional life but in the life itself. People who have applied sophisticated thinking to their portfolio and are ready to apply the same rigour to their own biology, their decades, and what they are building toward.
This retreat is particularly suited for the end of a year — when there is natural momentum for reflection and forward design, and when the habits established in December tend to carry into the year that follows.
