This week on The Microdose Diet Podcast, we sat down with Sergey Jakimov, co-founder and partner at LongeVC, to discuss how longevity and biotech are reshaping our understanding of aging. Sergey’s pragmatic and disease-driven investment philosophy is redefining what it means to live longer—and better.
🎯 Key Highlights:
💡 Lifespan vs. Healthspan: Sergey emphasizes that living longer only matters if those extra years are vibrant and fulfilling. At LongeVC, it’s about improving healthspan, not just extending lifespan.
🧠Pragmatism in Longevity: Tackling aging through disease-specific innovations ensures measurable outcomes and clear paths for success—essential for aligning with venture capital and big pharma goals.
🔬 Breakthrough Focus Areas:
🤝 Collaboration is Key: Progress in longevity thrives on partnerships—between researchers, startups, VCs, and big pharma.
🎙️ Dive into the full conversation to explore why Sergey believes a balanced approach between vision and practical results is crucial for advancing the field of health and wellness.
