We just raised $60 million for Blueprint.

To bring my longevity protocol to you.

Our society has made us unwell…metabolically, mentally, spiritually. We’re addicted. Social media, porn, nicotine, junk food, fast food, smartphones, streaming, energy drinks, and gambling. Each perfectly engineered to keep us in their grip.

Years ago, I was owned by these systems. They wrecked me, and my health. I wish there had been someone in my life helping me break free. Blueprint will be that system. Collectively, we will claw our power back. Blueprint will take better care of people than they can themselves. Better than the healthcare system does. Better than our societal norms allow.

We will be your home for health.

Blueprint will help you feel clear-headed and vibrant. You will become more jacked and beautiful with our presence in your life. There’s nothing better than feeling your best.

Some of the world’s most powerful people are backing Blueprint.

Talent are pivoting their careers to join our team. They rightly see that Blueprint is in the right place, at the right time, for the global emergence of the new macro trend of health, anti-aging and Don’t Die.

In this post I’ll cover:
+ Who’s investing
+ What Blueprint will be
+ Who’s joining
+ Open positions
+ How to get early access

The next era of human is here.

[TEAM]
Defeating death would be humanity’s greatest accomplishment. Big things are happening right now in our small corner of the galaxy. We see the consequence of this moment and are working to positively influence the future of intelligent existence. We believe that product is philosophy and companies can influence the world.

Join if you love to work insanely hard and also get eight hours of sleep.

Joining our team as CEO is Gyre Renwick. He was previously President of Modern Health and before that an executive at Google Health and Lyft Healthcare. Gyre builds complex health systems into growth engines.

In this next chapter, I am doubling down on Blueprint and Don’t Die. I’m all in. Gyre will run the business and I will focus on vision, strategy, and birthing Don’t Die into the world.

Blueprint is the practical manifestation of Don’t Die. They are the same thing. I will continue to juggle many full-time jobs: rejuvenation athlete, Blueprint vision, leading the Don’t Die moral philosophy and ideology, building a global community, and content creation. Ultimately, both Blueprint & Don’t Die ladder up to the same thing, answering the question: ‘what does humanity do as we give birth to super intelligence?’.

Kate Tolo (co-founder), Gyre, and I will be in lockstep building this mission together.

Roles we are filling now:
+ Chief Technology Officer
+ Chief Product Officer
+ Chief Medical Officer
+ Chief Marketing Officer
+ Engineers of all types
+ See all open roles

Refer your most talented friends. If you don’t see a job fit, still email us.

[BLUEPRINT VISION]
We’re making my protocol accessible to everyone. To replicate everything including the measurements, protocols, therapies - and make it easy and accessible for others to do in a community. For your family and friends to do this too.

Many think that the world’s most powerful people have their health figured out. The truth is, most everyone is floundering. Luxury concierge services often do little for wealthy people as the biggest gains are not in expensive therapies but daily habits. We will help you build life foundations, starting with the basics and graduating to advanced therapies.

Our goal is to be more effective in helping you achieve your health goals than any health system or concierge in the world.

Blueprint will build around:
+ your preferences
+ your budget
+ your preexisting conditions
+ your prior results
+ your prescriptions
+ your level of effort

It’s health within context.

I built Blueprint to solve my own problem. My body and mind were broken, and I didn’t know who to trust to help me fix it. Everyone disagreed with everyone else. I found sanity in gathering a team of doctors and building a protocol based upon robust measurement and scientific evidence. It’s a methodical process that produces better outcomes and results in fewer mistakes and wasted time.

After my team and I built a protocol for me, my friends and family asked if they could get access too.  Then their friends and family asked and I said yes again. The circle kept on expanding until we stumbled into Blueprint becoming a company.

We will tell you to do less. Most good health can be achieved with very little effort. It’s the systems, infrastructure, knowledge, and piecing through the noise that is hard.

Blueprint is Bryan Johnson’s protocol, for everyone.

What this will practically mean:
+ Blood draws
+ Food delivery
+ GLP-1s
+ Rx prescriptions
+ Free protocols
+ Toxin testing
+ At-home tests
+ Skin care & hair care
+ Nutrition & supplementation
+ Advanced therapies

And your AI health companion will make it simple.

I like to call this my Autonomous Self. In the same way you put in an address and digital navigation tells you the best way to get there, Blueprint is navigation to vibrance. Our goal is to remove the thinking and hassle for you so that you can focus on building durable life habits and achieve the best health of your life.

I love thinking about what the future will say about us. When I think from the perspective of those who exist in the year 2500, I think they’ll observe that the 2020s and 2030s was the time when humans figured out that they were the first generation who wouldn’t die.

Early access below.

What an amazing opportunity. Let’s do this together.

Bryan

@isaiah_p_taylor @usecapture Siri Shortcuts is easy to setup via SMS, including sending a transcribed voice note

one tap from your home screen

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@isaiah_p_taylor We still have a lot to build, but @usecapture has you covered on quick capture via SMS and Raycast

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@project_wren I'm fascinated by the civic climate action campaigns you've produced.

https://t.co/OFJ26dTND9

I'm curious — is there any critique *against* the BIG WIRES Act that you've found compelling?

Or, at least, critique that's well-argued in good faith?

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@fortelabs @andy_matuschak "You should be able to record a task anywhere"

This is exactly why we built https://t.co/z9ABRgzUue 📥

@fortelabs @andy_matuschak has my favorite note on the internet about this!

@eshear Yes, Snapchat can "open to camera" and optimize the design for images over text.

But, for many use cases, the similarities in the media trump the differences.

You want to quickly: capture, annotate, retrieve, share, organize. Designing a unified interface here is solvable.

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@chenstyh I just love that texting yourself *feels like* a personal quirk, but is actually a shared experience.

Super fun to see people react and "feel seen" when their first text message shows up in Capture 💬📥

[Stephen Chen @stephencme]

Does anyone else text themselves? 😅

TLDR; texting myself has been my #1 productivity hack of the year and now you can try it yourself with Capture! Get access at the link:

@kentcdodds know of any courses similar in quality to your https://t.co/frwbGJaXI8 but for mastering CSS & styling?

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@stevefink @anquetil You might be interested in giving @usecapture a shot 😉

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@djpeachykeen @DoggoSound I just accepted I'm forgetful and "capture" all my todos and ideas

I used to just text myself, but I built @usecapture to replace that. you can text anything to Capture and it's super easy to find and organize later

DM me if you want to try it out!

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@CooperTownes @UIUC_Yenta you might be interested in using @usecapture to quickly save notes, reminders and links!

whatever you text yourself will show up in Capture, and you can quickly find / organize / schedule / share anything you've saved

DM if you're interested in trying it out

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@brettwsaunders You might be interested in @usecapture!

I built Capture to replace texting myself articles, photos, reminders, etc. With Capture you can text yourself anything and then quickly find / organize / schedule / share what you've saved.

DM me if you'd like to try it out!

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@NobleHangOut @Tectuber @isee_colors I've been building @usecapture to replace sending texts to myself

Capture lets you text notes to yourself and then quickly find / organize / schedule / share what you've saved

DM me if you'd like to try it out!

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@morgvntvylor The team and I built @usecapture to be *exactly* this kind of private inbox – and texting into Capture is one of our most popular features!

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@rsencion @verge Agree that quick-capturing to Notes is pretty smooth for a tonnn of user cases.

But SMS does have some super powers: Links get unfurled. Screenshots are easier to capture. Photos get nice previews. You can "send to" SMS from other apps pretty easily.

[Calvin LeGassick @CalvinLeGassick]

@verge Texting directly into @usecapture is definitely one of our most popular features.

Curious if anyone uses this feature in @memdotai?
