If we're all going to live forever, this tech startup might be one of the reasons. Nucleus, fka as Nucleus Genomics, offers an all-in-one DNA health test. Unlike its competitors, it sequences far more of your DNA to offer you a more complete view of "the foundation of your health."

But that's just the beginning. Today, we get into the possibilities of Nucleus as a broader consumer health platform. This is my conversation with Kian Sadeghi, the founder and CEO of Nucleus. He dropped out of college to go on this mission, and as you'll soon hear, he's got an expansive vision for the future of healthcare.

What are all of the possibilities unlocked by the convergence of AI, quantified self and tracking data, and a change in consumer habits + desires? How could an AI doctor, or a personalized AI health system, replace human physicians? Kian doesn't take that lightly, by the way - both of us come from a family of doctors, and I think that makes his forecasting even more interesting and worth paying attention to.

We also get into: his belief that some healthtech founders are wasting everyone's time, how health insurance may not exist in the near future, the challenge of hiring and firing, the opportunity for AI employees, the intense first year of founding Nucleus, and so much more.

It's a conversation about healthcare, AI, Silicon Valley, foundership, and it's startup nerd content of the highest quality.

This is Three Course Founders, Episode 009: The Artificial Womb, with Kian Sadeghi of Nucleus.
