ONCE VENTURES AT THE 2025 NUTRA HEALTHSPAN SUMMIT
We’re excited to share that our Managing Director, Ara Abrahamian, spoke at the Nutra Healthspan Summit in London last month!
The event brought together leaders in science, nutrition, and investment to talk about the future of healthspan and longevity. Ara’s panel focused on what investors look for when evaluating investment opportunities in Longevity.
While the financing environment in this sector may not be as hospitable as it was five years ago, it is clear that money is still available for companies with strong science, healthy financials, realistic plans, and platform-level propositions. Topics discussed included:
Beyond buzzwords: Longevity companies must find ways to communicate consumer health needs in a way that consumers can understand. Scientific jargon such as cellular senescence and mitochondrial health are unlikely to be relatable or compelling to everyday consumers
Science is not enough on its own: Today’s investors are more focused than ever on revenue traction and clear roadmaps to profitability
A growing market: Categories with momentum invite more competition. Longevity startups must differentiate in meaningful ways, such as measurable outcomes and strong IP
At ONCE Ventures, we believe in backing founders who combine rigorous science with scalable business models. The summit reinforced what we stand for: creating solutions that help people live longer, healthier lives.
