The company believes a preserved brain connectome (map of neural connections) may hold the key to recreating consciousness.
Nectome has raised $1 million in funding and won a large federal grant for its research.
There are ethical concerns about the service, as some believe it preys on people's fear of death.
Others believe that the technology is revolutionary and could help preserve knowledge for future generations.
The technology is still in early stages and many unknowns remain about consciousness and memory preservation.
Invester Sam Altman is one of the 25 people on the waiting list, and he believes this technology could digitize their minds.
