Get started with longevity
Longevity News, Jobs & Opportunities
There's real opportunity in longevity and very few people know about it. The field can feel exclusive, so many stay away. But longevity is still a small, growing niche where people are getting involved even without a degree. There's room for financial, personal, and professional growth.
Communities are forming, early-stage startups are hiring, and new investment opportunities are emerging every month.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about getting started with longevity
Longevity means longer life, so working on longevity is extending life. There are multiple ways to extend life:
- Lifestyle: exercise, sleep, nutrition, and habits
- Biotech: supplements, drugs, diagnostics, interventions
- Longevity therapies: future treatments that could repair aging damage
Some researchers, like Aubrey de Grey, believe these therapies could one day keep us young indefinitely — a concept called Longevity Escape Velocity (LEV).
To get involved? No.
Some advanced therapies (like gene editing) are still expensive, but many of the most powerful longevity tools are free or cheap — like exercise, sleep, or diet.
The field needs people from all backgrounds to grow and become accessible for the majority.
