- Welcome to The Quest Pod Season 2: Episode 19 with Laura Deming: the prodigy longevity VC talks about home-schooling, becoming a Thiel Fellow, and pushing the limits of human life through bio-tech.
Laura Deming is not your typical VC. She is the founder and partner of The Longevity Fund, a venture capital firm focused on the study of aging and life extension in humans. Home-schooled in New Zealand, she moved to the U.S with her family to work in an age genetics lab at just twelve years old before dropping out of MIT at fourteen following her acceptance as a Thiel Fellow.
In this episode, Laura and I discuss her journey to become an effective leader, taking risks, dealing with failure, and being motivated to change the world for a better place. Beyond her impressive resume, she is a reminder that great founders can come from anywhere, so long as you have the passion to pursue something relentlessly and are not afraid to step outside your comfort zone.

My dumb brain here can't follow her on 1x speed 🥲
We are pinning this comment because this is EXACTLY how we feel 😩😩
It's awesome to see how excited she is when talking. That combination of energy and genius will make great things happen.
She definitely appears to be the real deal. Not an Elizabeth Holmes
Only time will tell
That's not an comparison, Elizabeth Holmes claimed to have built a tool which does something at a very low cost. Laura isn't claiming to do any such thing, she simply invests in startups that look promising to her
@@windingsarcasm9046 Sure but she could be doing a lot of things that we don't know about.
🙏👍
Thanks for this interview! Laura is quite underappreciated.
Thank you for breaking your interviews into chapters. It makes it easier to look specific topics up
Of course! We got you :)
Hi Justin, my name syaiful from Indonesia. Please keep doing what you doing Man. I'm huge fans for your podcast.
Thank you!!
Great interview Justin! Aging is such an interesting topic and it surprisingly has not gotten the amount of attention it deserves, especially in the tech world. I hope someday the compensation can be on par with the importance, to get more smart people working on this problem.
^^
Inspiring and exciting interview!
Yay! Thank you Startups and Sushi 🍣
this episode was great 👍
Seems like a really smart lady.
I like that she said she didn’t know when she didn’t know.
True humility!
We are the future!
this is awesome 👏
awesome
We’re all dying.
Justin, this is really informative, but not knowing her age and what years she's talking about, it's hard to get tangible timeline of how events transpired. For instance, at what year did she email the lady at the lab? Are we talking about the 90s or like 5 years ago?
It was 15 years ago? Laura worked at the lab when she's 12.
God damn
0 thumbs down. I wonder if you could push this with paid and blow up subscribership real quick
Paid content or paid advertising?
IDK good question :)
I quickly want to recommed Dr ncube for a good well readings, future predicting and astrology readings, removing of bad luck and removing bad spells. For personal and private readings.
I don’t see how anyone this young who didn’t finish school can even remotely qualified to do such things. That either means it’s way easier to do this sort of stuff than I thought, or she should go to Vegas!
Well, actually, she didn't go to school at all. Maybe that's why she _is_ qualified 🤣
@@LucasDanielSantoro oh wow, maybe we should let middle schoolers run the country then. Lol.
@@boot-strapper let me be even more explicit: she is able because se _didn't_ go to school. Therefore she isn't nor has ever been a middle schooler.
I wouldn't let middle schoolers run the country, but for sure people like her would be much more capable to do it than the ones in charge today (for today in a broad sense. I'm not doing any political party dinstiction here).
@@LucasDanielSantoro of course she went to some form of school - its the law. So elementary, or middle, or high school. whatever it was, she isn't qualified. you should stop putting people like this on a pedestal. It's delusional.
But why
What’s wrong with your face Justin 🤣
Should study bats they lived long
The whole thing with her and Aubrey de Grey is just sad.
I wish it could have been kept separate from their professional lives.
Why do you want to reverse age
You have not felt the physical pain of time. Give it time and then you'll see.
@@alainportant6412 what? Fucking weird comment dude. Good luck in life, try and not be so salty to everyone.
Time is the only thing that tie down the greatest minds
I think this tech should not be given to markets and should only be used by scientists as more age means they can reasearch better after all the knowledge they have gained,but this will be a disaster if given to free markets
@@zorg621 that's only natural you should make your mindset strong and not fight the natural forces
Elizabeth Holmes 2.0
She’s nothing like Holmes
@@howo357 she is better at acting ?
@@neverpayingtaxes no point arguing with some bigot painting all women entrepreneurs the same. Elizabeth Holmes had no silicone valley backers. They were all old dudes with no background in tech. Laura Deming’s VC are complete opposite.
Not even close. She's already a proven success in her field, investing in and helping others start companies related to longevity.
She specifies not being on the front lines, is careful not saying anything currently undeterminable or definitive such as timelines, and is responsible enough to not tell people what to take or what she even takes because everyone's body is different even if something works generally.
The problem is SOME people can't even imagine where technology or science can and will take us. It's always been like that though.
