Who should apply?
To be a good fit for the Longevity Biotech Fellowship, you are probably:
- 100% committed to working in longevity (indefinite lifespan extension, specifically)
- Interested in starting, joining, or investing in longevity biotech startups, FROs, academic labs or similar.
- Have an operating or technical background
- Eager to be an active participant and contributor in a growing longevity-focused community
- Unflinchingly mission-driven.
What's the application process like?
To apply for the onboarding cohort fellowship program (newcomers) or to join the community (longevity professionals):
1. Submit an online application (~ 7 mins).
2. We will review your application. If a good fit, we will contact you to set up a ~20 min Zoom interview to get to understand your goals better and answer any questions you might have.
3. After the interview, successful candidates will be contacted by email to confirm registration and payment.
Is the in-person retreat mandatory?
No, but highly recommended.
We understand not everyone can travel to the locations and so rotate them. If accepted, you may also join a cohort online and attend a future retreat in a location more accessible to you.
Do I need a biology background to apply?
No!
While having formal biology training is an advantage for working in longevity biotech, it is not necessary. Many great founders and operators in our industry come from diverse experience and backgrounds.
We do recommend those who have zero knowledge of biology consider taking a free introductory biology course like MIT's 7.00X.
How much does it cost?
New membership for the Longevity Biotech Fellowship is $1299, which includes:
- 4-day intensive in-person retreat

Yes!
