Tomorrow.bio was founded in 2020 by Dr. Emil Kendziorra and Fernando Azevedo Pinheiro. Emil, a trained medical doctor, spent years as a cancer researcher and entrepreneur before establishing Tomorrow. Fernando, an industrial and civil engineer with an MBA, has extensive experience as a tech executive and entrepreneur.

Americans can now book our pioneering cryonics services and enjoy the same cutting-edge procedures and Swiss storage as our European patients.
But it’s foolish to dismiss an option that looks at least potentially viable given the advances technology has made in the last few decades and the milestones science will likely continue to achieve amid the declining cost of cryonics.
A Berlin start-up, thought to be the first of its kind in Europe, is offering to cryogenically freeze people in liquid nitrogen after they die, for as long as it takes until science can find a way to revive and rejuvenate them.
A team of German doctors is pushing the boundaries of what was long thought to be impossible – they’re attempting to cheat death, bringing humans back to life.
Our own impending demise might be a chilling prospect, but for one German start-up, the cold embrace of death is nothing to be feared.
Pushing boundaries? Very weak wording. In fact, it is about their complete erasure - the erasure of the boundaries between life and death.
Overview
Pioneering technology and approach
We founded Tomorrow.bio with the belief that cryonics should be simpler, safer, and more affordable. That’s why we’ve improved on all the most important aspects:
A new way to secure your future: Our monthly membership fee guarantees constant medical standby and we help you pay for cryopreservation through our attractive life insurance options.
Cryopreservation is an advanced technical procedure that uses extremely low temperatures to stop all biological processes in the body. Cryopreservation is not freezing, as the formation of ice crystals would be very damaging to the body. This procedure involves the use of specialized cryoprotectant solutions (think medical grade anti-freeze) to prevent freezing when the patient reaches sub-zero temperatures. Patients are cryopreserved in the expectation that future technology may be able to revive them and treat their underlying cause of death.
What is the current state of cryopreservation science?
While research is constantly progressing, it's currently not yet possible to revive a human after they have been cryopreserved, but there is no fundamental biological reason why revival would not eventually be possible. Here is some what's currently possible with cryopreservation:
For decades scientists have been successfully cryopreserving and rewarming parts of the body such as embryos, sperm, and skin.
Research in 2016 showed that a rabbit’s brain remained in near perfect condition after it was cryopreserved and rewarmed. The synapses, cell membranes and intracellular structures remained intact, showing that cryopreservation can protect everything associated with memory and learning.
What’s included in the Tomorrow.bio plan and how much does it cost?
Our pricing is made up of two types of fee: The membership fee and the Standby & Storage. Our membership fee is €50/month (or € 500/year) and pays for technical equipment, training and maintaining standby teams on call 24/7. The Standby & Storage depends on which funding method you choose: €200,000 for whole body cryopreservation and €75,000 for brain-only cryopreservation. Most members choose to cover the cryopreservation costs with term life insurance which cost depends on your age and medical history. Both fees are paid for while members are still alive, nothing is paid after the patient has been cryopreserved. It is mandatory to pay the membership fee if you want to sign up with Tomorrow.bio, however you do not have to use our term life insurance option for funding - you can use an alternate funding method (e.g. own insurance, savings plan, will etc.).

How long will my body be kept in cryopreservation?
Cryopreservation is maintained with liquid nitrogen (which is naturally at −196 degrees celsius in liquid form). No electricity is used, which secures patients against power outages and makes long-term maintenance economically feasible. The largest portion of funds are given to a patient care trust called the Tomorrow Patient Foundation (TPF). The TPF puts the cryopreservation funds into very low risk investments that have an annual return of 1-2% above inflation. The 1–2% return covers the running costs of maintenance (such as liquid nitrogen). This ensures that there are always enough resources to keep patients cryopreserved indefinitely, for however long is necessary for revival to be possible.
When will I be revived?
Given that the revival of cryopreserved patients requires significant scientific advancement, it's not possible to say if and when revival will be possible. However, there is no fundamental biological reason why revival is not possible. And the good news is that there is no time limit to how long you can be cryopreserved without degradation!
Why would I sign up while I'm young and healthy?
First of all, in almost all cases, you would not be saving money by waiting to sign up. For example, if you wanted to get term life insurance that covers you until 70 years old, the overall price difference between signing up at 50 vs. 30 is less than 1%. Signing up early means you can get significantly more years of coverage for almost no price difference. Additionally, if you were to develop any medical condition while waiting to sign up, you could become uninsurable. This would make cryopreservation more difficult and potentially expensive to finance. Another reason it’s better to sign up now rather than later is because it secures you against an early death. Even if it’s unlikely, there is always the possibility that you get a life-threatening illness or get into an accident. Signing up now is the only way to ensure that you can be cryopreserved, regardless of when you pass away.
What if I’m in the US?
Tomorrow.bio has officially launched in the US in July 2024 and available in New York, California, and Florida. Nationwide expansion is planned by mid-2025 (if you're outside these states, contact us to explore options). Membership starts at €50/month or €500/year, with a one-time Standby & Storage fee of €220,000 for the whole-body cryopreservation. Your final cryopreservation will take place at our secure long-term storage facility at the European Biostasis Foundation (EBF) in Switzerland, where your body will be preserved indefinitely.
