Building Breakout Startups & Hacking Human Potential with Bryan Johnson

Join us on May 23 for an exclusive fireside chat with Bryan Johnson, the serial entrepreneur behind Braintree Venmo (acquired by PayPal for $800M) and the visionary leader of Kernel and the OS Fund.

Bryan’s latest endeavor is Blueprint, an ambitious and data-driven attempt to measure and reverse the aging process in his own body. After publicly documenting his rigorous regimen of supplements, diet, exercise, and even medical procedures, he’s now offering it up to the general public to try.

In a fireside chat with Founders Network Founder and CEO Kevin Holmes, Bryan will share his experience building and scaling Braintree and the hard-won lessons he learned. The chat will also explore Johnson’s unique perspective on identifying and backing revolutionary ideas, and how to cultivate a radical approach to problem-solving within your own venture.

He’ll also cover:
Fintech and the future of mobile payments
Innovation and creative business models
The intersection of business and well-being

Through his Project Blueprint, Johnson has achieved metabolic health equal to the top 1.5% of 18 year olds, inflammation 66% lower than the average 10 year old, and reduced his speed of aging by the equivalent of 31 years.

Johnson freely shares his protocols and data publicly for everyone to use. Project Blueprint, is an endeavor to achieve humanity and earth scale cooperation starting within Self.

In 2023, Johnson launched Rejuvenation Olympics, a leaderboard assessing one’s speed of aging using DNA methylation. Of the 1,750 people who have been using this state-of-the-art aging algorithm to track their progress longitudinally, Johnson ranks #1 in speed of age reduction.
