Hey everyone, I'm about to start a gig advising on tech policy in DC for 1yr but during that would like to start ideating on a potential startup with someone with plans to launch early 2023! I'm not an engineer but have done a little product but my core focus is usually on growth/bd and navigating regulated areas.

I have a few ideas (listed below) but am open to ideating with folks openly and seeing where interests and the market takes things - Making Cryonics more mainstream with a better payments layer + other longevity services and more research into the science behind it that we openly publish - Working on an integrated critical mineral processing, recycling, and gigafactory that produces re-used EV batteries or home powerwalls either in the DRC or with close ties to it to try to bring more jobs to the area and help the country move up the value chain from pure extraction (and because I think there's a huge demand already including in Africa for good battery packs to replace diesel generators)

I am not in DC and although I am an engineer I don't have any experience in the areas you mentioned, but all your projects sound super interesting. Best of luck with them!

Send me a note, I'm interested in collabing as well — in particular on concepts related to sustainability and local economic autonomy / empowerment.
