SUMMARY:Launching Longevity: Funding the Fountain of Youth
DESCRIPTION:Launching Longevity\nFunding the Fountain of Youth\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Tuesday\, June 21\, 2016\n6:00 pm to 8:30 pm\n6:00 pm: Reception and networking\n7:00 pm: Panel discussion (with Q&A) \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Can technology make human longevity a reality? As the pace of discovery accelerates\, scientists and entrepreneurs are closing in on the Fountain of Youth. Disrupting the aging process by hacking the code of life\, promises better health and longer maximum lifespans. With many layers of complexity from science to ethics\, there are still skeptics placing odds against human longevity. \nVenture capitalists are betting on success; putting big money on the table to fund longevity startups. Google/Alphabet and drugmaker AbbVie have invested $1.5 billion on Calico\, while Human Longevity Inc. recently raised $220 million from their Series B funding round. Complementing traditional venture investment\, VCs like Peter Thiel and Joon Yun have established foundations and prizes to accelerate the end of aging. \n\nWhy are VCs suddenly investing heavily in longevity startups?\nWill extended lifespan be a privilege of the wealthy or will the benefits be accessible to all?\nHow long before these well-funded startups bring viable products to market?\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Special Presenter\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Aubrey de Grey\, Chief Science Officer and Co-founder\, SENS \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Moderator\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Sonia Arrison\, author\, 100 Plus: How the Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything… \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Panelists\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Dr. Brian Kennedy\, CEO\, Buck Institute for Research on Aging \nDr. Daniel Kraft\, Founder\, RegenMed Systems\, and Chair of Medicine\, Singularity University \nWill Eden\, Vice President\, Thiel Capital\n \nJoe McCracken\, VP of Business Development\, Alkahest \nDr. Thomas Rando\, Director of the Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging\, Stanford University \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				SRI International Conference Center\n333 Ravenswood Drive\nMenlo Park\, CA 94025
