    Background Longevity by Rob Lake

    Longevity by Design: A Data-Driven Operating System for Founders, Leaders, and Investors of the Future

    We’ve engineered our tech stacks and capital strategies. Now it’s time to engineer ourselves including covering: biomarkers, behavioral protocols, and scalable systems to help high-performers thrive inside the chaos of modern leadership and build a future where performance and health compound together.

    Format: High-engagement, personalized, science-based strategy session

    We’ve mastered code. We’ve scaled capital. Now it’s time to architect the most vital system of all - ourselves.

    In this dynamic, hands-on workshop, you won’t just learn about the future of longevity - you’ll build your own custom strategy to lead from it.

    Guided by cutting-edge research from Eirloom, the world’s first longevity and leadership company, this session unlocks a new framework for performance: one that blends biomarker intelligence, behavioral data, and leadership resilience protocols into a scalable, personalized roadmap for thriving inside high-pressure environments.

    This is a workshop for the future-fit - those ready to evolve not just their companies, but their capacity.

    Whether you’re fundraising, scaling, exiting, or starting again, this session gives you the science, strategy, and system to lead longer, stronger, and smarter in the AI age.
