The Longevity Biotech Fellowship (LBF) is a non-profit community for people to come together to build, join, or invest in revolutionary longevity biotechnology projects.
Registration for LBF1 is closed! Applications will go to the waiting list and/or be considered for the LBF2 cohort (Summer 2023).
Whether it's finding a co-founder, a role at a startup, an investor, investment, collaborators, or talent for your company -- our community is here to help.
Level up -- with online content, peer-to-peer knowledge share, and exclusive interactive talks with longevity biotech industry experts.
Connect in-person with meetups and our epic onboarding retreats for our members all across the world.
We recruit, screen, and interview to find the world's most talented and mission-driven people that want to work on aging -- and bring them together in one vibrant community.
The Longevity Biotech Fellowship Program for new members is 12-weeks of orientation, connection, and mentorship to equip people with the right context and opportunities to make an impact on aging. (2 - 4 hrs/ week)
We onboard each Fellowship program cohort with an intimate 3-day retreat focussed on learning and mentorship in a magical setting. (optional, limited spots)

Who should apply?
To be a good fit for the Longevity Biotech Fellowship, you are probably:
- 100% committed to solving aging (not just "healthspan")
- Interested in starting, joining, investing, or advocating for hardcore longevity biotech projects. Or are already involved and want to increase your impact.
- Have an entrepreneurial or technical background, or other unique skill that could help accelerate progress
- Are biased to action: Eager to be an active participant and contributor in a growing 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 such as physics, tech, media, and more.
We do recommend those who have zero knowledge of biology consider taking a free introductory biology course like MIT's 7.00X. And all prospective members should check out ur Recommended Reading List.
How much does it cost?
New membership for the Longevity Biotech Fellowship is $1299 / $699, which includes:
- 4-day intensive in-person retreat
- 12-week online cohort program
Annual membership for alumni or those already with a career in longevity is $199/yr for professionals and $99/yr for students and early stage entrepreneurs.
Are there scholarships available?
A limited number, but Yes!
We want to make the Longevity Biotech Fellowship as accessible as possible -- no matter your financial situation.
All successful applicants who require financial assistance will be given the opportunity to request a scholarship to help cover their cost.
What's the time commitment?
The retreat: 4 days of workshops, talks, project ideation.
Online 12-week program: Minimum 2-4 hours per week - or much more. Project working groups, Mastermind groups, Local Chapters meetings, and opportunities to work or volunteer for the LBF, our collaborators, and aligned companies and organizations.
Lifetime: Our connected network offers lifetime support and opportunities. At least until we solve aging - then maybe we'll just do an occasional Karaoke party reunion ;)
