Frank Thelen wants to live longer – and is now investing in this longevity startup

Just turned 50 – and already looking for the recipe for a longer life.

Just turned 50 – and already on the hunt for the eternal fountain of youth: Tech investor Frank Thelen is focusing on longevity and is investing in Nutori GmbH, a startup that develops nutritional supplements to promote cellular health.

"We are at the beginning of a revolution: science, biotechnology, and AI are merging to extend our healthy lives," Thelen writes in a LinkedIn post . He considers longevity one of the "most exciting topics" – with potential "comparable to the digital economy 20 years ago."

And then it gets personal: "A few days ago, I celebrated my 50th birthday, a moment that also got me thinking personally." Of course, getting older is something he's concerned about. And so it's only logical to get involved as an investor in a longevity startup.

Nutori, founded by Jan-Lucca Sielski and Christian Schlinger, focuses on premium products made in Germany. Its bestseller is a collagen powder that, according to Thelen, is said to promote "more energy, better regeneration, and a strong body image."

Freigeist partner Marcel Vogler is also joining Thelen in the startup. The goal of the investment is to advance the growing longevity movement in Germany – for, according to Thelen, "a longer, healthier life and good returns."
