Support real longevity

Help us build a future where each year brings new medicines that erase more than a year of what breaks with aging.

Why support Norn

Help us industrialize the longevity field and make it as impactful on human prosperity as antibiotics.

We’re tackling the bottlenecks that prevent each advance from strengthening the next, so the field can produce medicines that fix the age-related failures that diminish and kill us. Our Patrons make that possible.

Your support enables work that wouldn’t happen otherwise. It gives the world’s best talent the resources to pursue ideas whose impact could compound and change the entire field of aging. Those advances could help us gain control over aging, so we can keep adding healthy years to human life.

Three paths of patronage

Keep Norn alive

Our programs run on minimal overhead (~1.1% for Impetus) and don't fund our efforts to map and expand the field. Unrestricted support pays for Sufal to file our taxes and go meet new talent, our online resources to stay hosted, and occasional high-leverage spend to accelerate the field.

Current focus

AI-enabling datasets for aging research

For AI to drastically impact longevity, we need data showing how age-related diseases unfold and how treatments change their course.

These datasets take years to build, regardless of how fast intelligence scales. We need to start now. We’re raising funds for experiments that track disease over time, linking molecular and cellular changes to organ function and health.

Anchor a new program

If there's a specific goal you want to make happen, from among our proposals or otherwise, we'd love to discuss it. This could be an Impetus round focused on a specific area of biology, a new standalone project, or brainstorming for a specific type of impact. There is much to be done.
