In this episode of The Beyond Tomorrow Podcast, I sit down with Boyang Wang, investor and co-founder of Immortal Dragons, a $40M fund betting on the boldest longevity breakthroughs.
From growing up with health challenges in China to building a successful tech business, Boyang now invests his own capital into moonshot biotech projects like whole-body replacement, artificial wombs, 3D bioprinting, and plasma exchange therapies.
He also shares why Eastern and Western cultures view longevity so differently, how regulation holds back life-saving science, and why he believes healthy lifespan could soon be the world’s most valuable currency.
