Synopsis: Longevity isn't just about living longer—it's about living better. In this insightful episode of Biotech 2050, host Alok Tayi sits down with Sergey Jakimov, Founding Partner at LongeVC, to unpack what it really takes to invest in the future of healthspan. Blending his experience as a medtech entrepreneur, rare disease patient, and venture capitalist, Sergey shares why LongeVC focuses on practical, science-backed longevity solutions rather than hype-driven moonshots. He explains why aging isn't a disease, how diagnostics differ from therapeutics in venture ROI, and what makes AI drug discovery a pivotal unlock in modern biotech. The conversation also explores the rise of pet longevity, the role of lifestyle in aging, and how LongeVC grew from a €20M experiment to a high-performing fund now raising $250M for Fund Two—all with zero write-offs. For founders, funders, and anyone curious about the intersection of biotech, aging, and real-world outcomes, this episode offers an honest, no-fluff look at building the future of longevity—one evidence-based investment at a time. Biography: Sergey Jakimov is a founding partner of LongeVC, a venture capital fund supporting early-stage biotech and longevity-focused founders that are changing the world. He is a serial entrepreneur, having co-founded 3 deep-tech ventures and raised more than $40 million in venture funding for his own ventures and as an entrepreneur in residence. He has worked with several other early-stage companies in the therapeutics space on fundraising, IP protection, and clinical trial strategies, focusing on early treatments in cardiovascular, oncology, and neurodegenerative spaces. He is also a visiting lecturer to several universities on venture capital and intellectual property rights, and he co-authored a master's program in Technology Law for the Riga Graduate School of Law. Since 2018, he has co-founded medical tech startup Longenesis, a cutting-edge company that unlocks the hidden value of biomedical data and accelerates novel drug treatment & discovery. In 2020 he co-founded LongeVC, and in 2021, he co-founded the Longevity Science Foundation - a non-profit organization advancing the field of human longevity by funding research and development of medical technologies to extend the healthy human lifespan. He holds a BSc in International Affairs from Rīga Stradiņš University and two MScs in Political Science and Government and Law and Finance from Central European University and Riga Graduate School of Law, respectively. He was named Forbes Latvia 30 Under 30 in technology and healthcare in 2020.

From Startup Founder to Ecosystem Bridge-BuilderIlias Benjelloun's journey began with identifying untapped talent in Canada's tech scene and helping create community among builders. He transitioned from launching startups to developing programs at large institutions like Desjardins, where he helped align startup innovation with corporate goals. His goal has remained constant: unlocking value trapped by outdated structures and accelerating impact through strategic collaboration.Building Innovation Programs with PurposeDuring his time at Desjardins, Ilias led several key initiatives including a $250M fund, a corporate accelerator, and a pre-incubator. What made these efforts unique was their grounding in local ecosystem needs, not top-down mimicry of Silicon Valley models. His philosophy is simple but powerful: start with what you have, listen to the community, and complement what's missing. He was also an early advocate for integrating SDGs into innovation frameworks, proving that financial returns and social impact can go hand-in-hand.Lessons from Around the WorldHaving traveled to innovation hubs in the Middle East, San Francisco, and beyond, Ilias observed a few standout patterns: corporate investors are entering earlier, opening doors more readily, and embracing a pay-it-forward culture that fosters genuine collaboration. By contrast, some ecosystems - including parts of Canada - remain more cautious, often waiting until startups are less risky. Ilias believes this risk aversion can be overcome through smart partnerships and shared learning.The Untapped Power of the African DiasporaIlias is now focused on activating a massively underutilized force: the African diaspora in Europe and North America. These globally connected individuals hold cultural insights, technical expertise, and business potential that is often overlooked. He argues for shifting the narrative away from DEI as a moral obligation and toward viewing inclusion as a strategic business advantage, especially in sectors like climate tech, agtech, and water innovation where frugal solutions are in high demand.A New Model for Global CollaborationTo turn this vision into reality, Ilias advocates for partnerships with anchor corporates in target countries - like OCP in Morocco - and creating consortiums that lower the risk of startup collaboration. This requires intermediaries with cultural fluency and operational know-how to translate between regions. He sees VivaTech as a prime example of where these global bridges can be built, linking France, Canada, Africa, and beyond. His mission is to move from talk to action, harnessing innovation not just for returns, but for systemic change.

Topics:Pre-LOI: How Independent Sponsors Win DealsLOI Execution: Structure, Risks, MistakesGood vs. Bad Post-LOI DiligenceWhat Attracts and Repels Capital...and so much more.Top TakeawaysRollover is your edge against strategics. Strategic buyers often can't offer it. Independent sponsors can—that's your edge. Typical range is 10–40%, and when structured well, the second bite can be worth more than the first. It aligns incentives, keeps sellers engaged, and shows you're building with them instead of just buying them out.An LOI isn't a victory if it's not fundable. Signing an LOI with mispriced risk, unrealistic earnouts, or soft terms might feel like a win, but it's not fundable. Capital partners will walk, and worse, re-cutting terms after signing can fracture trust with the seller. John's advice: pressure-test your LOI with capital providers before it reaches the seller's desk. Call out red flags early—or risk killing the deal later. Strong diligence starts with a clear timeline, experienced advisors, and structured checkpoints to raise red flags before they become roadblocks. John warns that bad diligence often means avoiding tough conversations about risk. If you're not surfacing problems early, you're setting yourself up for failure post-LOI.Stay exit-ready from day one post-close. Even if you're planning to hold for five years, act like you'll sell in two. That means clean financials, documented systems, and clear growth metrics. You never know when the perfect buyer will come knocking. The sponsors who are prepared are the ones who cash in early.Choose advisors who know the IS model, not just deals in general. John shares that many first-time independent sponsors make the mistake of hiring advisors who don't understand the nuances of independent sponsor deals, like capital stack structuring or running a capital raise alongside diligence. Look for professionals who have worked on multiple independent sponsor transactions and understand the pressure points before and after the LOI.About John KoeppelJohn Koeppel is a Partner at Lippes Mathias, where he leads the firm's Private Equity and Independent Sponsor practice. With 25+ years of experience, John has structured and closed 250+ deals ranging from $5M to $250M+. His work has earned recognition from Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA, and Super Lawyers.About Lippes MathiasLippes Mathias is a full-service law firm that advises independent sponsors, family offices, and institutional investors throughout the full lifecycle of a transaction—from LOI to exit.

Interview with Blaine Monaghan, President & CEO of Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/pacific-ridge-exploration-tsxvpex-tapping-into-bcs-copper-gold-amid-global-demand-surge-5754Recording date: 11th June 2025Pacific Ridge Exploration Limited (TSXV:PEX) has undergone a significant strategic transformation, joining the prestigious Fiore Group while pivoting from planned US expansion back to its core British Columbia copper-gold portfolio. Under CEO Blaine Monaghan's leadership, the company now controls 100% of five promising projects in BC's emerging critical minerals landscape.The partnership with the Fiore Group represents a major validation of Pacific Ridge's asset quality, bringing strategic advisors Rob McLeod and Ryan Waymark alongside crucial capital access and M&A expertise. "I think I found most gratifying over this past year where it's been really really hard to access capital in the market and you begin to question and wonder if your projects are as good as you think you are and that was really validation," Monaghan explained.The company's flagship Kliyul project has attracted significant investment, with over $14 million spent and 19,000 meters of drilling completed since 2021. Management targets an inaugural resource estimate of minimum 250 million tons, with recent geophysical surveys suggesting the majority of the system remains untested. Highlight intercepts exceed 300 meters of 0.8% copper equivalent, with mineralization extending to 600 meters depth.Pacific Ridge's RDP project presents exceptional high-grade potential, building on Antofagasta Minerals' discovery of 110 meters grading 1.4% copper equivalent - one of BC's best intervals in 2022. The upcoming $1.5 million drill program will test expansion potential from this discovery, with geological interpretation indicating a steeply dipping pipe system leading to deeper mineralization.The company's tight capital structure of only 19 million shares outstanding provides significant leverage to drilling success, particularly given the high-grade nature of targets in the increasingly active Stikine terrain. With regional momentum building around discoveries like Amarc's nearby Joy project and government support for critical minerals development, Pacific Ridge is positioned to capitalize on both local and global copper market dynamics.View Pacific Ridge Exploration's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/pacific-ridge-explorationSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

From a lucrative Wall Street job to transforming a struggling factory into a $250M indoor air quality company, explore the journey of building a business through resilience, innovation, and strategic logistics.   In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene speaks with David Heacock, founder and CEO of Filterbuy. He shares his remarkable journey from Wall Street to building a $250 million indoor air quality business. After leaving his high-paying job at Goldman Sachs, David purchased a struggling family business, shifted to manufacturing air filters, and scaled it into the world's leading company in the industry. In this episode, he discusses his entrepreneurial journey, overcoming challenges, and his emphasis on logistics and manufacturing, which has led him to expand into new ventures like Filter By HVAC Solutions.   Key Takeaways: → How focusing on logistics and direct-to-consumer manufacturing can be a game changer. → The unexpected challenges of transitioning from finance to manufacturing. → Key strategies for scaling a business from a small operation to a $250M success. → How a global crisis like COVID-19 became an opportunity to expand operations and strengthen the business's footprint. → Why narrowing focus and resisting the urge to diversify too quickly can be the key to sustainable growth.   David Heacock is the founder and CEO of Filterbuy, a leading company in the indoor air quality industry.

Bronson Hill is a leading expert in passive income and wealth psychology, known for his ability to break down the habits and strategies of the ultra-wealthy. As the founder and CEO of Bronson Equity and host of the Mailbox Money Show, Bronson has interviewed over 2,500 millionaires, uncovering the mindsets and investment tactics that separate everyday earners from those who achieve true financial freedom. A former medical sales professional, Bronson walked away from a high-paying career to pursue passive income, scaling his wealth 20X in just a few years. He's a general partner in 2,500 multifamily units worth over $250M and has personally raised over $45M for real estate and private equity deals. Bronson's unique perspective comes from both his humble beginnings and his relentless focus on mindset, making him a sought-after keynote speaker and author. On this episode we talk about: – The mindset shift that helped Bronson 20X his net worth – Lessons from interviewing over 2,500 millionaires – Why “wealth-worthiness” is the hidden key to financial success – How the ultra-wealthy invest differently (and why “alternative assets” aren't so alternative) – Actionable strategies to build confidence and take your first steps toward passive income Top 3 Takeaways 1. Mindset is everything: The right psychology and self-talk are foundational to building wealth. Most people stay broke because they never develop a sense of “wealth-worthiness”—the belief that they deserve and are capable of financial success. 2. Surround yourself with the right people: Who you spend time with determines your financial future. Learning from mentors and modeling the habits of successful investors can accelerate your growth. 3. Take action despite fear: Confidence isn't about being fearless—it's about acting in the face of fear. Start small, celebrate wins, and use setbacks as data for growth. Notable Quotes “Confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you build. Small wins, big lessons, and relentless action—love this breakdown.” “Make yourself valuable to valuable people.” “Being wealthy is not about having money or not having money. It's the habits and the person you become.” Connect with Bronson Hill: BronsonEquity.com Instagram: @bronsondavidhill Mailbox Money Show: Available on all major podcast platforms
