Build the strategic network to defeat aging & death.
Vitalism Foundation coordinates key leaders, government, business, and academia to direct unprecedented attention towards solving humanity's greatest challenge, death.
Aging gets 1% the attention it should. A Strategic Network is the only plausible way to 100x that.
We need massive resources to solve aging. A strategic network is the key missing piece that unlocks them.
We spend $300B per year on cancer R&D. We need the same for aging.
Strategic networks have successfully directed massive attention; resources and policies follow. By building a positive flywheel among for profits, non-profits, key leaders, and policy-bodies we can 100x the attention and as a result, the progress towards our goal.
A Vitalist Strategic Network

Businesses
Economic engines that drive the Vitalist mission through capital leverage.
Nonprofits
Think tanks, lobbying organizations, and social change and education institutions.
Media
We build and support key content sources to shape narratives and spread knowledge.

Our projects encompass five key vectors that accelerate leverage for impact:
Vitalist Bay 2026
May 2026. Berkeley, CA. A multi-week summit convening top scientists, founders, donors, and policymakers to coordinate the global effort to solve aging. Vitalist Bay creates alignment, visibility, and momentum across the highest-leverage actors in the field.

"Vitalism is the first movement that combines ethical clarity with practical strategy. Finally a philosophically sound effort to get behind."
Patrick Linden, PhD
"Aging and death are clearly undesirable, and it’s essential that we collaborate and align our efforts to bring aging under control."
Aubrey de Grey
@ LEV Foundation
"Vitalism is a unity movement that everyone can agree on regardless of nationality, religion, or politics. The longevity biotech revolution to maximise healthy lifespan will be a profound step change in human flourishing, but the field remains tragically neglected — join the movement!”
Sebastian Brunemeier
"We undertake this mission to solve aging alongside incredible, hard working, talented, and genuinely altruistic people — people in this community. I proudly work with the Vitalist community."
Mark Hamalainen
"I have worked with many longevity-oriented organizations over decades. Vitalism Foundation is the first I've seen able to bring passion together with expertise to create a unique 'force of human nature' that can take aging head-on."
Kevin Perrott, PhD
"I think organizations should become Vitalist to differentiate themselves as hardcore. It’s important to differentiate yourself; otherwise, you don’t know what company you’re keeping."

Common Questions
What makes Vitalism Foundation different from other longevity initiatives?
We are the only organization focused building an influence network to drive change.
Why do we need this? Aren't longevity science & technology already on a path to success?
No. The resources and attention dedicated to longevity today are a tiny fraction of what they could be, especially given the seriousness of the problem of aging. Current initiatives, often even according to their creators, are not going to yield major lifespan gains.
Aren't Special Economic Zones and Charter Cities sufficient?
Special Economic Zones and Charter Cities are important for longevity, but they are also vulnerable to the arbitrary decisions of the greater jurisdictions in which they operate. Most such jurisdictions are limited in capital attractiveness, and maturity, limiting their effectiveness.
I live outside the US/Europe? Can I still get involved?
Absolutely, we intend to build the Vitalist strategic network in every corner of the world.
Why not lobby and influence through traditional political campaigns?
We support lobbying as one of multiple measures. One challenge is that without a core and consistent voting constituency as well as concomitant economic interests and systematic coordination with for profit and non-profit stakeholders, any political support may be ephemeral. Additionally, lobbying efforts are often only able to reach a small group of leaders and cannot effect deep and wide systemic change.
Don’t we have enough money for longevity? Capitalism will solve longevity!
No. Longevity only gets less than 1% of biotech venture capital despite aging being the primary driver of healthcare costs. For a problem of this magnitude, humanity should be dedicating at least 1% of global GDP (~$1 Trillion), which is around 1000x more than what is being invested in fighting aging today. Despite spending around $11B in the last 25 years on various longevity companies, we yet to see ameaningful inflection in overall funding and attention.
