Cryogenic start-up focuses on thawing the frozen waiting for a cure
A former child prodigy is working on ways to ensure that bodies can be revived when the time is right.
Laura Deming started investing in human longevity as a teenager and, over the past decade or so, has become one of the most discerning investors in a field full of wild, overhyped ideas. Now she’s putting her venture capitalist hat to the side and wading into one of the more controversial areas of longevity technology as a founder of her own start-up.
Last Monday, Deming unveiled Cradle Healthcare, which she’s been running in secret for the past three years. The company’s focus is on trying to develop technology around reversible cryonics, placing people with illnesses into a frozen state and then reviving them at some stage in the future when cures for their ailments have arrived.
