OpenAI’s CEO has invested $180 million into a new startup aiming to add 10 years to human lifespans. Located near Silicon Valley’s tech giants, Retro Biosciences focuses on biohacking and advanced scientific research. Their unconventional approach challenges traditional biotech strategies by diversifying their research efforts across multiple potential longevity solutions.

Retro Biosciences is part of a wider trend of tech billionaires investing in longevity, competing with entities like Jeff Bezos’ Altos Labs. With $3 billion fully committed from Bezos, Yuri Milner, and others, Altos is likely the best-funded longevity lab around.

Billionaire Peter Thiel has famously agreed to have his body cryogenically frozen when he dies, so he can be brought back to life later. German Billionaire Christian Angermaye is also focused on developing a wide range of pills and treatments for improving aging.
