Founder at Vitality Healthspan Foundation
San Francisco, California, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorLaurence Ion is a serial founder and community builder with 14 years of experience focused on building cities and organizations that accelerate healthy life extension and decentralized science. Based in San Francisco, he founded Viva.city and Viva Frontier Tower to create permanent and vertical longevity-focused communities and runs a Longevity Floor as a real-world hub for research, culture, and capital. As a founding steward of VitaDAO and co-initiator of Jellyfish DAO and BeakerDAO, he blends decentralized governance with early-stage funding for longevity therapeutics and cultural storytelling. He has a track record of launching pop-up cities (Vitalia, Zuzalu) and consumer apps (Intersect) that translate bold social experiments into sustainable ventures. Laurence combines community design, fundraising, and operational leadership with a rare focus on making “death optional” through both biotech funding and built environments. An under-the-radar strength is his ability to spin ephemeral experiments into lasting institutions that attract talent, capital, and open-source collaboration.
