Astor Perkins’ All Things Deep Tech & Survival, October 27, 2021.

We back mavericks solving some of the hardest problems facing humanity on Earth and in space.

From climate change mitigation and adaptation, longevity and human survival on Earth and in deep space, to the space economy itself, we are tackling some of the most difficult scientific, engineering and technical problems that have global market potential.

The Astor Perkins virtual event will gather prominent institutional investors, VCs, family offices and UHNWIs, including luminary investors, speakers, leading startups and 500+ attendees.

Join us for the keynote by Dr. Anders Sandberg, Senior Research Fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute, University of Oxford.

Title: What is the potential size of the future?

Abstract: When thinking ahead, we usually only consider a relatively short distance into the future. But just as the past is deep, the future will be deep – unless we go extinct and lose all of it. This talk will sketch some of the reasons we have to think the future could be far richer, happier, more secure and sustainable than normally imagined. This optimism also implies more responsibility for us, living here near the start of history. If we survive and get our act together I believe our future will be grander than anything we can imagine. I also believe we have good reason to think we can do it.
