Support biotech, nanotech, computing, neurotech and space progress in 2022 via Gitcoin, Foresight memberships or cause-specific donations

How can we advance beneficial applications of high-impact technologies? This giving season we want to show you a few different opportunities to help you help this important cause.

1. Support our longevity fellowship on Gitcoin! (This is time-sensitive!!) Our longevity fellowship got into a Gitcoin quadratic matching round last-minute, ending in a few hours! Matching tracks number of donors rather than just amount given. This means, small amounts matter A LOT in supporting new talent in longevity.

2. Become a Foresight member in 2022. You will be invited to join our blooming community in both physical space and cyberspace, with interviews with our honorary fellows (joined by Morgan Levine and Chiara Marletto). Expect surprises—a virtual NFT LAB gallery, showcasing science and tech produced in the Foresight community, local meetups around the world, and much more! Sign up if you’re interested in global physical meetups here.

3. Choose a specific project or technology working group to fund. Read our 2021 progress update and 2022 opportunities in the email below, and decide for yourself what YOU think is most important to fund run 2022. You can also give other crypto coins, or contact us for individual arrangements.

Happy holidays! We can’t wait to grow our interdisciplinary future-positive community with you!

2021 PROGRESS & 2022 OPPORTUNITIES

Support progress on atomically precise control of matter

Our Molecular Machines track coordinates scientists, funders, and institutional allies in advancing molecular machines for applications in energy, medicine, and material science and atomically precise control of matter.
Explore our annual report, the seminar summaries, or the table of Molecular Machine Devices for 2022 focus areas. Your support lets us produce seminar summaries and make them publicly available in 2022. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.

Support progress on biotechnology and rejuvenation

Our Biotech & Health Extension track consists of scientists, entrepreneurs, and funders advancing novel approaches for reversing aging and extending human healthspans.
Explore our annual report, the individual seminar summaries, or this longevity technology analysis for a preview of 2022 focus areas. Your support lets us produce seminar summaries and make them publicly available in 2022. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.

Support progress on secure decentralized cooperation

Our Intelligent Cooperation program focuses on using tools from computer security, cryptography, cryptocommerce, and related fields to secure and improve voluntary cooperation across humans and other intelligences.
Explore the annual report or the individual seminar summaries. Your support lets us produce seminar summaries and make them publicly available in 2022. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.

Fund fellowships for biotechnology, molecular machines, decentralized computing

Congratulations to our our 2021 fellows and accelerator winners advancing biotechnology, molecular machines, and computing for the benefit of life!
Applications for our 2022 fellow are oversubscribed. Your support allows us to increase the number of biotechnology, molecular machines and computing fellows we can support though travel stipends, mentorship, and professional exposure. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.

Fund neurotechnology and space technology tracks

In addition to continuing our existing technical tracks, we’re opening two tracks to support early-stage work in neurotechnology and space technology.
Your contributions support seminar production and capture in these tracks. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.

Fund early-stage prizes in rejuvenation, computer security, neurotechnology

Congratulations to our 2021 Feynman Prize winners Ken Houk, UCLA, and Anne-Sophie Duwez, University of Liege!
Since 1993, you’ve enabled Foresight to award the Feynman Prize to reward ambitious nanotechnology work. The mechanism works well: our 2007 awardee received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2016. Your contribution supports similar prizes to speed up early-stage work in rejuvenation, computer security, or brain computer interfaces. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.

Fund tech trees to match early-stage science with funding and talent

There are many areas in biotechnology, molecular machines, and neurotechnology that could benefit from support. For outside funding and talent it can be hard to to find out to help. To aid coordination, technology trees provide an overview of the field, existing work and open challenges.
Through our technical groups, we’ll generate biotechnology, molecular machines, and neurotechnology trees for each field. Long-term, these trees may integrate across domains. This longevity tech tree is a first prototype and this white paper explains how we’re expanding it. Your contribution helps us speed up the process. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.

Fund collaboration across molecular machines and longevity

To facilitate interdisciplinary progress that is unincentivized in standard institutional settings, we hold annual technical competitions focused on the intersection of technologies, e.g. Atomic Precision for Longevity, Molecular Machines for Materials Science, Atomic Precision for Healing the Planet.
Your contribution helps sponsor a 2022 competition for leveraging molecular machines to develop new tools for longevity progress. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.

Fund LAB Gallery: collect art to fund early-stage science

Science, especially when early stage and interdisciplinary, faces two problems: 1. It’s hard to communicate. 2. Funding relies on complicated legacy institutions that take a big cut.
Foresight’s LAB gallery pairs artists and scientists to inspire interest in science through art. By collecting the NFT art piece, anyone can become a direct patron of a brilliant scientist. Your support funds monthly exhibitions of fundable science in biotechnology, molecular machines, neurotechnology, and computing. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.

Sponsor global Existential Hope meetups

We have grown a global community of scientists and technologists wanting to collaborate on positive futures. Many offered to host regular meetings across the US and Europe and we had first gatherings in Berlin, France, and Portugal.
Your contribution supports organizers hosting meetups. Donate via Credit Card & Paypal.
