Open Mastermind

Where longevity builders find their inner circle.

Noēsis is a hand-selected mastermind for builders in longevity, healthtech, and wellness. Operator-founders, doctors, scientists, and investors growing alongside peers - not alone.

Application takes 2 minutes. Even if the next session doesn't fit, applying keeps you in the loop.

The problem

The people doing the most interesting work in longevity often have the fewest peers to think alongside.

The niche is too specific. The depth is too rare locally. The peer group at your altitude is thin. We built Noēsis for that.

What Noēsis is

A mastermind, the way it should be.

Real challenges.

Members bring what they're actually working through right now. No abstract case studies, no theory.

Real feedback.

The room sharpens you - frameworks, hard questions, introductions, lived experience. From peers who've been there.

Real relationships.

The kind of contacts that compound. Co-conspirators, customers, and trust that opens doors for years.

Who members are

Builders across the EU, UK, and US.

Founders, CEOs, doctors, scientists, and investors. Across longevity, healthtech, wellness, biohacking, regenerative medicine, functional medicine, performance, and biotech.

What they share isn't a job title. It's altitude.

The Open Mastermind

Experience the room before you join it.

Once a month, we host an Open Mastermind: a live session where candidates sit alongside founding members. Candidates bring a real challenge they're working through. The group sharpens it. You experience the format firsthand - no pitch, no sales call, no obligation.

After the session, our founding members meet to discuss who's a fit. Within 48 hours, you receive a personal note from us - yes or no, with reasoning. If yes, you'll receive payment details. If no, the door stays open for the future.

Maximum 12 guest seats per session.

Common questions

FAQ

Is the Open Mastermind free?

Yes. Attending is always free. Membership (which begins after acceptance) is €150/quarter, single tier, with a 3-month money-back guarantee.

What's the money-back guarantee?

If you join after the Open Mastermind and decide within 3 months that Noēsis isn't for you, we refund the full quarter. No questions, no friction. We'd rather you leave with goodwill than stay reluctantly.

How many seats per session?

Maximum 12 guest seats per Open Mastermind. We cap it on purpose so the room stays sharp and every voice has space.

Can I attend more than one Open Mastermind?

Sometimes, yes - if your application is strong but timing wasn't right, we'll invite you to a future session.

Where do you meet?

Online for monthly sessions. Annually, in person, in beautiful locations around the world.

What if the next date doesn't work for me?

Apply anyway. We'll keep you in the loop for upcoming sessions.

What if I'm in the wrong vertical or stage?

Apply if you're a builder. We read every application personally. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you - and we may know someone who is.

The builders are already in.

The next session is when you meet them.
