Why Byran Johnson is planning to shut down or sell his anti-aging startup

In an interview with Wired, Johnson expressed that the primary challenge facing his startup is the difficulty in scaling and democratizing access to the complex and personalized anti-aging protocols he has been developing. He also added that the business started to undermine his credibility in the philosophical space. “It just evolved in a way where I was trying to do people a solid. The problem is now people see the business and give me less credibility on the philosophy side,” he said. “I will not make that trade-off.”Johnson also said that his focus is shifting towards ‘Don’t Die’. It is a belief system that the tech entrepreneur launched earlier this year. The belief system was created as a blend of science, ethics and spiritually with an aim of radical life extension. Johnson now believes that the commercial nature of Blueprint acts as a distraction to him.

Is Blueprint in trouble

Earlier this year it was reported that Blueprint was missing its break-even point by $1 million a month. However, Johnson has denied any kind of financial stress. “We are break-even, and I’ve said that publicly many times. We’ve had profitable months, we’ve had loss months,” he added.
