Sergey Young, Neil Littman | Longevity Investing Q&A

This episode is a Q&A on longevity investing with Sergey Young from Longevity Vision Fund and Neil Littman from Bioverge.

Sergey Young is a longevity investor and visionary with a mission to extend the healthy lifespans of 1 billion people. He is the founder of the $100M Longevity Vision Fund—one of the few funds specializing exclusively in longevity and helping to accelerate longevity breakthroughs.

Neil J. Littman is the Founder, CEO, and General Partner at Bioverge, an impact investment platform exclusively dedicated to investing in early-stage, cutting-edge healthcare companies.  

Sergey speaks about his book, Growing Young, which covers different technologies and discoveries on the near horizon.  He believes that it is unlikely that a single intervention will create the change necessary, so he is building a portfolio of different technologies to target aging.  

Neil Littman discusses his experience at the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine where he saw a girl cured of combined immunodeficiency disorder using gene therapy.
