Episode 1 guest profiles
Research for our pilot: bio infrastructure — what is being built and where is the moat? Third guest slot is provisional — we want someone from OMSF (Open Molecular Software Foundation).
Use these pages before we record. Scrape each guest's online work, map their thesis, and build chronological prep notes for seed questions.
Nathan S. Cheng
Co-executive director of the Longevity Biotech Fellowship. Toronto-based. Physics PhD dropout who moved into longevity investing, community building, and movement evangelism. Describes himself as a vitalist working on a moonshot to end aging.
Core thesis: aging is solvable now. The bottleneck is talent and coordination, not science alone. We need a public roadmap, fellowship pipelines, and capital flowing into longevity biotech — especially infrastructure and builders, not just incremental pharma.

Michal Kubis (mgoes)
Investor and community builder in human enhancement. Goes by Mgoes online. Associated with BiohackerDAO and SuperHuman Fund. Frames the space as enhancement and Humanity 2.0, not longevity alone. Based in the bio/acc / deeptech scene with strong media output.
Core thesis: we are entering Humanity 2.0 — upgrading humans through biotech, AI, and enhancement tools. Software upgraded for 40 years; biology is next. Community, media, and capital should flow to early-stage enhancement infra. Prefers enhancement over longevity as the label.

|---|
What he is likely to bring to our episode
- enhancement framing vs longevity framing (matches our call with Yoni)
- investor view on infra small cos can build now
- community and DAO model for biotech (BiohackerDAO, Superhuman Fund)
- data ownership angle — Intra, user-owned health data, AI on fitness data
- media-native — already hosts a podcast with video; knows the format
- network across biohacking, Bryan Johnson orbit, and deeptech founders
Scrape priority
- Accelerate Bio Podcast — pick 3 to 5 episodes closest to infra (George Church, Omri/NFX, GLP-1/Anant Vinjamoori, Casey Handmer energy/infra)
- SuperHuman Fund thesis and portfolio pages
- BiohackerDAO / Intra — data collection and user value thesis
- X posts on enhancement, SuperHuman Fund II, bio lab visits
- Any talks or summit appearances (Tokyo Longevity Summit)
OMSF — provisional third guest
We want someone from the Open Molecular Software Foundation. OMSF builds open-source software and communities for the molecular sciences. Mission: advance humanity's ability to understand and shape the physical world through open technologies.
Likely angle for our episode: open molecular software as bio infrastructure — shared tools, benchmarks, software directory, fiscal sponsorship for academic projects.
Online presence
Outreach
- Ask Yoni if he has a direct contact at OMSF
- If not, reach out via omsf.io contact page
- Before recording: scrape omsf.io projects, directory, and blog for thesis and seed questions
How they fit episode 1 together
| Nathan | Michal |
|---|
| Primary lens | Solve aging — vitalism, fellowship, roadmap | Enhance humans — Humanity 2.0, fund + media |
|---|
| Infra angle | Talent pipelines, investing infra, knowledge distribution | Data ownership, community funding, enhancement stack |
|---|
| Media | Longevity Acceleration Podcast (science-heavy) | Accelerate Bio Podcast (founder/investor interviews, video-first) |
|---|
| Overlap for us | Both build community + capital + content stacks around biotech outside traditional pharma. Both podcast-native. Strong fit for roundtable on bio infrastructure moats. |
