Why Leave a Legacy When You Can Live Your Legacy?
2
Actuaries’ estimate of my life expectancy as of my 55 th Birthday Each square represents one month
3
The Problem The Solution
4
Aging is inevitable. Your squares seem to get used up faster each year… don’t they?
5
Paradigm Shift
6
Maximum Life Foundation June 23, 2000 Manhattan Beach, Calif. Manhattan “Beach” Project – –Assemble the world’s leading researchers in a focused effort, much like the World War II ending Manhattan Project. Ours will end suffering and death from aging.
7
Finally Achievable Wishful thinking for >6000 Years Not revolutionary 2011 –How long will “they” take? 2033? 2043? 2053? Will you be part of the last generation to die From aging… or part of the first generation to enjoy open-ended strength and vitality? “Don’t be left behind”

Law of Accelerating Returns Copyright © Raymond Kurzweil 2001
9
Another Reason Exponentially Rapid Convergence of… –Biotechnology –Information Technology The intersection of biotech and infotech makes life extension research subject to the Law of Accelerating Returns –Nanotechnology Going beyond the limitations of biology
10
Healthful Industry Many popular investments may be ruining our health and shortening our lives Fast Foods Processed Foods Alcoholic and Soft Drinks Tobacco Doesn’t it make sense to commit a portion of our Doesn’t it make sense to commit a portion of our portfolio to investments that cure diseases, promote portfolio to investments that cure diseases, promote wellness and extend healthy life? wellness and extend healthy life?
11
What’s Getting Funded? Venture capital has slowed dramatically –And only about 5% of biotech VC goes to start-ups IPO’s have dried up Basic research primarily university and/or government supported –Little applied research for aging intervention –Mostly age management How about CURE… instead of CARE?
12
Free Market vs Government Stem Cells Genomics Drug Development Nutraceuticals Nanotechnology AI Telecommunications Infotech Intervention is the Problem… not the Solution

Funding Strategies Donations Private Equity –Age Reversal, Inc –Manhattan Beach Project, LP IPO –Age Reversal, Inc Asset Preservation (Endowment) –Asset Providers –Fund Managers
19
Our Objectives Funding Demonstrate Capability Open floodgates Reach Longevity Escape Velocity –Pull all stops for 14 years Smart, Strong and Sexy at 100… and Beyond –Why not have life begin at 100?
20
Manhattan Beach Project Concerted effort to pull all the pieces together –Focused we live better and longer, scattered we will be distant memories. Stop aging by 2029 Demonstrate age-transformation capability in humans by 2033… … then beyond
