Founder Letter: Our focus for 2026

‍

Tomorrow.bio was founded in 2020. Over the last years, it has become the predominant organization by preservation quality and growth. But we’re not here to just be the best, the largest, the fastest growing by relative terms. We’re here to make it work. We’re here to do everything necessary, that cryopreserved people will be revived in the future. 

‍

‍

Here’s what we will focus on for 2026.

‍

Growth & Network

Growth is not a goal in itself, but it enables other important things. In 2026, we expect to become the largest organization globally by number of members. As you know, our members are concentrated in just Europe and the US, giving us the opportunity to maintain a uniquely tight coverage network of teams and ambulances. We will also double down on Whole-Body Field CryoProtection (WB FCP) by training more teams, especially in the US, and two new locations in Europe. To our knowledge, we’re still the only organization doing WB FCP as the standard procedure in all locations, but we estimate that this will change as the field is moving further towards FCP. 

In 2026, we will expand our coverage network, with new locations and upgraded capabilities coming online in the second half of the year. 

‍

Note: We do cover our members globally via flight kits and local support partners (if available), but only allows signups in Europe and the US to keep our membership concentrated in areas where we can provide best-in-class preservation quality.

‍

Preservation Quality

If there were only one metric to evaluate organizations, it would need to be preservation quality. Everything else is secondary. Every year, one of our top priorities will be to improve preservation quality; this will never change. 

Since the inception of Tomorrow.bio, every person cryopreserved by us was CT-scanned to evaluate the quality of preservation. We’re releasing those results annually in a live event with Q&A.

Since 2024, we can not improve much anymore based on CT scan, as close to 100% of the brain shows sufficient CPA concentration for vitrification. While we still plan to improve to be “perfect”, we’re introducing an additional quality metric for the first time. A while ago, we started to ask our members for consent to take 2-3 brain and/or spinal column microsamples for electron microscopy. These samples allow us to evaluate the ultrastructure (=fine structure/architecture of cells and biomaterials) of the brain, which is, as far as currently known, the physical basis of memory, personality, identity, and so on. So far, XX% of members have given consent, and we hope that number will go up over the next year. We expect that the optimization of ultrastructure preservation for an average case will take a few years to get right. More details about our preservation goals can be found here: https://www.tomorrow.bio/blog/2026-at-tomorrow-bio

‍

Research

Research is at the core of Tomorrow.bio’s mission. Every year, we balance initiatives and projects that can be implemented (almost) immediately and longer-term programs that will have a high impact if successful. In 2026, we expect the finish and hopefully implement the following (in no particular order):

• Implement a new CPA (variant of what we currently use)
• Potentially implement the addition of Blood-Brain-Barrier Modifiers (BBB-M) to reduce dehydration and shrinkage of the brain during CPA perfusion.
• Test and start to offer whole-body Intermediate Temperature Storage at our Facility in Switzerland. 
• Implement a new cannulation and perfusion technique for faster initial cooling.
• Start a program/joint venture for rewarming technology and whole-body perfusion.
• Improve our ultrastructural analysis and the preservation quality itself.

Building the Field

Going forward, a bigger and bigger focus at Tomorrow.bio will be community, network, and field building. Cryopreservation is such a small field that, even today, after thousands of news articles and TV coverage, most people do not know that this is a real thing. We plan to change that.

‍

In addition, we’re working on building a close-knit community of people who have signed up for cryopreservation with online communities, in-person dinners and events, and live streams. Last but not least, we have picked the first two local teams that we will support to set up local capabilities. 

Membership

Our membership is the heartbeat of Tomorrow.bio. It's not just a subscription, but a lifelong  commitment and relationship to a community of people who value life, and its continuation, above everything else.

In 2026, we'll expand family and group signup options. This addresses feedback that while biostasis is a personal decision, the journey shouldn't be solitary. We're building a feature that lets you add family members and friends as sub-accounts of your main account so they can participate in the journey with you, even if they're not yet convinced or even oppose it. Our goal is to help families protect their legacies together.

Membership revenue fuels our operations and research, turning your support into tangible revival chances. Stay tuned for a cool announcement in February that will supercharge membership value.

Product

We're delivering tools that make biostasis seamless and proactive.

We're finally re-launching our Biostasis Emergency App for iOS (and Android soon), fully updated for 2026 with enhanced reliability after a series of long delays fixing technical issues and limitations. It works standalone or integrated with wearables like Oura Ring. No response? Escalating alerts trigger your emergency contacts. If they confirm an issue, they notify us for rapid deployment. This is crucial for sudden, solo incidents.

The signup and onboarding experience is one of the most important moments in our relationship with members. In 2026 we're completely rebuilding it from the ground up.

We're streamlining the entire process from initial interest to full activation: a clearer education phase to demystify biostasis, simplified onboarding experience, faster life insurance underwriting, and more. We're also launching a comprehensive new member portal packed with new cool features (details in upcoming posts).

These upgrades harmonize with our US/Europe network expansions and WB FCP standards, ensuring you're always covered at peak quality with everything you need at hand.

Club of Tomorrow

Community in this field became a buzzword. We are trying to build the antidote to the echo chambers of cryonics debates.

As we shared in the membership vision post we're done with endless technical rabbit holes and other repetitive topics (leave cryoprotectant wars to forums). Instead, the Club of Tomorrow fosters a vibrant society of life-valuers. 

Cryopreservation has historically been isolating. You think about it for some time. You sign up, you tell maybe a few close people, and then... that's it. We want to change that fundamentally.

In 2026, we're building the infrastructure for a real community of members. This starts with regular virtual meetups. monthly topic-focused discussions, quarterly AMAs with us the founders, engineering and research team, and casual social gatherings for members to connect. We're also organizing regional in-person dinners in major cities where we have member concentration: Berlin, London, Madrid, Barcelona, Zurich, New York, San Francisco, and others.

We're launching a private member community platform where people can connect, share their journeys, discuss their concerns, and support each other. This will be moderated to maintain quality while encouraging open discussion about the practical, emotional, and philosophical aspects of having signed up, shared interests and more. 

Most importantly, we're empowering local member groups to self-organize  while building cool stuff together. We're providing resources, venues, and support for members who want to create their own local chapters and events, even local SST teams. The first two regions we're supporting with formal structure are Marseille and San Francisco, but we expect this to expand rapidly as more members step forward to lead.

Beyond our own membership, we're committing resources to field-building more broadly: funding research at universities, supporting conferences, creating educational content for the general public, build a new storage facility in the US and working with other organizations to raise the standards and credibility of cryopreservation as a field. We want the entire field to grow.

One more thing…
