Overview

Nectome has created a new method for whole-body, whole-brain, human end-of-life preservation for the purpose of future revival. Our protocol is capable of preserving every synapse and every cell in the body with enough detail that current neuroscience says long-term memories are preserved. It's compatible with traditional funerals at room temperature and stable for hundreds of years at cold temperatures.

Founders & team

Aurelia Song

Founder/CEO

MIT grad where I studied old-school AI, last student of Marvin Minsky, created the world's first arbitrary code execution video game speedrun back in the day. I've desperately wanted good preservation for myself and my family since I was 6 years old and first learned that I and everyone in my family would die. Nothing satisfied me so I built it myself. Now I want to see all the cool things people will build when they're building for themselves and their loved ones in 300 years!
