The problem is: most of us have few money, One or two have the money and do what they can with it, some have too some wealth and don't do nothing, because they are most interested in making money, not "investing" it cryonics related researches. What I would suggest is to think about start ups outside the cryo domain and try to get a financing from these "have money people" . When some of these start ups are well launched, they could be sold and the money invested in cryonics research. It is certainly simpler to find some business angels than a lot of millions for mere research. In brief: It is simpler to become wealthy that convince present day riches to spend what they have on research. The first step could be to establish a business plan site where some ideas could be assembled. That site could be private, with restricted access, so that only people subscribing to the idea of business for financing research could pick up an idea here. Yvan Bozzonetti.
