THE BUSINESS OF LONGEVITY

Build with your eyes open.

A practical starting point for founders exploring a longevity or telehealth business. Understand the model before committing to a provider.

START WITH THE NUMBERS

Does your idea add up?

Change eight assumptions and inspect a twelve-month scenario. See how retention, margins and acquisition change cash requirements.

A founder’s field guide.

01

Define the business

Choose a specific audience and service model. Separate education and marketing from medical assessment and care.

02

Map the clinical responsibility

Identify who evaluates patients, makes clinical decisions and manages follow-up. Check licences for the patient’s location.

03

Understand the operations

Map onboarding, payments, pharmacy, laboratory, patient support and incident handling. Establish clear responsibilities and service agreements.

04

Test the economics

Make service costs, acquisition, retention, staffing and cash needs explicit. Stress-test a downside scenario before treating a model as a plan.

05

Check the requirements

Review state rules, privacy, advertising claims and professional ownership requirements with qualified advisers.

06

Compare implementation partners

Ask what is included, what remains your responsibility, what ongoing fees apply and whether you can move your business later.
