Brain preservation company Nectome is looking to start taking patients this year.
- Their chief of operations claims "90% confidence on [being able to preserve people by] December 2026". https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/E9xfgJHvs6M55kABD/less-dead?commentId=fkSjPfqybvNJffPs3
- Their founder said: "I think Alcor got it right when they designed their system for long-term care of people.
- They use a separate company to actually hold preserved people, so that if Alcor (the entity doing perservations) goes out of business, Alcor (the separate entity holding preserved people) continues its operations.
- Startups fail all the time because they take risks and are doing new things.
- But graveyards fail much less often, because they get initial endowments and have very predictable costs and few people to pay.
