Bryan Johnson
Founder of Blueprint
Bryan Johnson is an American entrepreneur best known for founding Project Blueprint, a radical anti-aging experiment aimed at reversing his biological age through strict diet, exercise, medical monitoring, and cutting-edge science. He has become a prominent figure in the longevity space, often described as testing the limits of human health optimization by spending millions annually on his regimen.
Before Blueprint, Johnson built a reputation in tech: he founded Braintree, a payments company that acquired Venmo and was later sold to PayPal for $800 million, and launched ventures like Kernel (brain-monitoring devices) and OS Fund (a science-focused VC firm). His Blueprint project has drawn both fascination and skepticism, highlighting the challenges of commercializing longevity science while sparking global debate about the future of aging and human lifespan.
