What if the next trillion-dollar Silicon Valley frontier is not another app, chip, or AI model — but human longevity?

In this episode of Silicon Valley Unplugged, Sergey Jakimov, Managing Partner of LongeVC, takes us inside the world of longevity investing, where AI, biotech, anti-aging science, and venture capital are beginning to collide.

Can startups really change how long and how well humans live?

AI is not just changing software. It is coming for one of the oldest power systems in society: law.

Contracts. Due diligence. Compliance. Legal strategy. Governance. Risk. The work that once required teams of lawyers can now be accelerated, challenged, and reshaped by AI.

So what happens when the legal industry — one of the most powerful gatekeepers of business, capital, and society — collides with artificial intelligence?

Join Sparknify for a special member-only episode of Silicon Valley Unplugged featuring Louis Lehot, partner at Foley & Lardner LLP and one of Silicon Valley’s leading corporate and venture capital attorneys.

From boardrooms to courtrooms, we’ll explore how AI is transforming lawyers, law firms, startups, and the future balance of legal power.

What if aging is no longer something we simply accept — but something we learn to engineer?

In the latest Silicon Valley Unplugged episode, Artem Trotsyuk brings three rare perspectives to the longevity conversation: researcher, investor, and builder of real-world solutions.

Together, we explore how AI, biotech, and venture capital are reshaping longevity — not as a quest for immortality, but as a mission to extend healthspan, dignity, and meaningful years.
