Hey! I’m Akshaj, the 19-year-old dropout and Launch House deep-tech/web3 founder.
I launched my social token so you can invest in me, personally, and gain social and future monetary clout in being one of my early backers as I build one of my most exciting projects: Deathless DAO - the deep-tech DAO to accelerate the pace of longevity innovation on several frontiers
With the Mirror raise, I will be crowdfunding my move to Miami, traveling & recruiting between tech hubs (SF, NY, and Singapore), and building core technical projects and evangelization initiatives within Deathless. To learn more about the DAO, click below:
What you’ll get:
$AJMIAMI tokens that give early access & airdrops to tokens in future moonshot projects
Being one my backers in building Deathless and early access to join & invest in Deathless tokens, once launched, so you can live forever
Co-investing with me on some amazing Deal Flow (On Deck Deep-Tech, Hard-Tech Miami, web3 startups/NFT Collections, etc.)
Entering token-gated virtual worlds in the metaverse - read below.
Crazy utilities like invites to yacht parties, Launch House mansions, and meet-ups
Additional Reward: Top 10 early supporters of $AJMIAMI will gain membership to chill, vibe, and hang with me in the dopest-looking sci-fi virtual world: The Jois Metaverse. Here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll be getting yourself into & more details at the end.
Mind-Blowing Startups I’ve Built in the Past - Medical Devices & 3D Bio-Food Printers
Since age 15, I’ve been serial building frontier science technology projects, each one larger than the last. Here’s a breakdown of my journey:
In 10th grade I built AloeAid, a medical device startup focused on wound healing, burn care, & self-adhesive medical bandages
Spent both summers of 2018 & 2019 working 40hrs per week, for 6 weeks at the University of Houston Environmental Engineering Lab, learning basic lab techniques & doing bacteria transfer under post-doctorate Hang Nguyen.
Converted my learnings into building a medical device (AloeAid) that combined lyophilized aloe vera gel with anti-microbial chitosan to provide relief to 1st and 2nd-degree burns. Built a prototype MVP, filed a provisional patent, became an international semi-finalist, and won the NSF project pitch
In 11th grade, I built Dropless Dropaids - A Pharmaceutical Precision Eye Drop Medical Device Technology Company
Youngest Bioventures cohort winner at the Texas Medical Center. Pitched and joined a med-tech startup founded by an opthalmologist (Dr. Spencer Obie) along with three Baylor of College post-doctorate researchers.
Went through a 10-week, immersive experience of translating patented research technology towards commercial stages, learning about life-science regulatory frameworks & eye disease market, working in J&J Innovation Labs, and most importantly - the power of stories to convey the power of technology to save the lives of people. Our team won the final pitch competition and I internally calcified my life goal to chase value-creation and entrepreneurship in the most, impactful industries
In 12th grade I built, Jois Food Tech - Industrial-Scale 3D Bioprinting Technology to Change the World of Digital Bits and Sustainable Physical Atoms
New manufacturing technology offers a better alternative to design proteins and meat from the ground up with new sustainable ingredients (plant protein & leghemoglobin, cell-based enzymes & transglutaminase, hydrogels, mycelium, etc.), enabling a new generation of healthier, slaughter-free meat - from plant/cell-based pork belly to turkey. To save the planet from environmental destruction/climate change, we need to change how we consume food.
I ended up becoming a finalist for the MIT-Rabobank Food and Agribusiness competition, Hong Kong Cocoon Venture Pitch, met the CEO of Nestle, became a top 6 finalist at Buhler Startup Day in Switzerland, and almost went through my first successful M&A
Crypto & Metaverse Rabbit-Hole
While in NY this summer, my journey radically changed - I was at a roof-top party where everyone only spoke the language of web3:
Quite soon after, I fell into the crypto/Twitter rabbit hole:
Learned Solidity, Ether.js, built Oracles on CryptoZombies and flash loans on Aave
Dropped out of UT Austin after getting accepted in Launch House LA web3 accelerator and On Deck Deep-Tech
Launching my utility social token $AJMIAMI to move to Miami, recruit, and build the world’s largest deep-tech DAO
The Epic Additional Reward - Private Virtual World
Software and the metaverse is evolving faster than the physical world. Our universe is fractal and soon augmented & virtual reality will pave the way for us to enter infinite virtual worlds. We will return to our natural state of curious explorers of the multi-verse rather than confined settlers to the physical realm. The top ten random backers will join me and help influence the designs to the world we want to create - one that celebrates life, infinite curiosity, and building technology 1 billion years away, like space fleets & virtual concerts now.
Other Rewards for My Backers
1. Early access to invest & gain ownership in future world-changing projects. Additionally, 1st access to private beta products in industries I aim to build in over the next few decades: biotech/3D biomanufacturing food, space, quantum, nanotech, and AI
2. Holders of $AJMIAMI Token will receive the option to subscribe to a private newsletter describing quarterly updates and my growing knowledge base.
3. In the future, the top 15 contributors will be invited to private events such as founder retreats & founder homes in exotic locations (Bali, Hawaii, Switzerland, etc.), and more.
4. Be a part of my exponentially growing network (which includes General David Petraeus, the CEO of Nestle, Luxembourg Minister of Economy, Ex-COO of Virgin Galactic/Current Head of Australian Space Agency, Launch House/On Deck founders, major podcast hosts, and more).
5. Early access and airdrops to future social tokens (ex: Talent Protocol) & NFTs
