Brain Longevity For Founders and Funders
An intimate evening exploring the future of brain health, longevity, and human potential — with visionary minds building what’s next.
The people who build the hardest things often run on brains that are wired a little differently. Faster, deeper, non-linear, more relentless, sometimes frantic. Many of us never realize how different we are. Even fewer of us realize that the same intensity can cost us business decisions, lost relationships and higher risks for cognitive decline in our last decades.
We now know the brain isn't an island. Cognitive decline, dementias, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's are increasingly understood as a whole-body systemic decline: inflammation, a gut that talks stress to the brain, glucose that is erratic, a nervous system that struggles with coherence, poor sleep. Which means the potential upside is also systemic.
Better brain health isn't about living longer. For us founders, it's better relationships, sharper judgment, steadier focus, and a company that flourishes because of our clarity instead of our burnout.
This is a series of intimate dinners for VC-backed founders in AI, healthcare, longevity and impact-driven business, and the people who fund them. The goal is to create a community built on real conversation, intimate connection, good food, and science that can change the longevity of our companies and our brains.
Topic
A candid conversation with Dr. Nadir Bilici, cognitive prevention expert, on the truths and myths of what works and what doesn't for brain health. An honest look at some of the most talked-about tools in longevity and what it can do for neurodivergent brains.
Dr. Nadir Bilici, MD, is a double board-certified neurologist and lifestyle medicine physician running a concierge telehealth practice built around one idea: catch Alzheimer's decades before symptoms. Trained at Penn, UCSF, and NYU Langone (Chief Resident in the #1 neurology program), he now teaches at Mount Sinai. His approach: APOE genetic testing, biomarkers, brain MRI, and lifestyle medicine targets the 45% of dementia that's preventable, mostly for executives and high performers who'd rather act than wait.
Setting
We will be dining in a private setting that enables an intimate conversation and learning.
Chef Andy Quinn at ORIANA, originally from the UK a former executive sous chef at the three- Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park is innovating with open-fire cooking with a precise, minimalist approach that blends classical technique with innovation.
Host
Elena Ikonomovska, CEO of Diadia Health
25 million Americans want functional medicine: personalized labs, more data, real action plans, peptides. That's $19.2B in demand chasing just 8,000 functional-medicine doctors.
Diadia is closing that gap. Our AI reads specialty labs and drafts a personalized action plan in the clinician's own style — turning any doctor into a functional medicine expert and increasing clinic's capacity. It's free for the clinic; patients pay for the tests and peptides they order through us.
Built by Google and Uber AI veterans on a Structured Reasoning Graph that forces logical reasoning and surfaces uncertainty instead of hiding it.
