Fountain Life, the US longevity clinic start-up founded by Dr Peter Diamandis, Dr William Kapp and entrepreneur Tony Robbins, has raised US$18 million (€15.4 million, £13.5 million) in funding from investment firm EOS Ventures.

Fountain Life will use the money to expand its operation. It has plans for new centres in Houston (opening in December), Miami and LA (in Q2 of 2026).

It currently has four clinics in Florida, Texas and New York and has raised US$108 million (€92.7 million, £80.9 million) to date, suggesting it's managing to bring down the cost of development as it scales.

Fountain Life is also training staff at medical facilities in its protocols to solve the affordability problem that longevity clinics can face, due to the price of cutting-edge technologies and personalised care requirements.

The company says longevity clinics cost between US$10,000 (€8,600, £7,500) to US$150,000 (€128,700, £112,300) a year to run, depending on the kinds of interventions offered. These can include preventive, regenerative therapies and hormone optimisation. All of these require high salaries for medical staff, as well as investment in advanced technology.

As diagnostic tools evolve and more products enter the market, the prices of these technologies will become more affordable. This will democratise access to facilities that help increase healthspan.

The Estate

Tony Robbins and hospitality mogul Sam Nazarian, founder of SBE, also have a destination longevity hospitality brand called The Estate, which will comprise a global network of luxury wellness resorts.

These will have lifestyle longevity therapeutics provided by Fountain Life and medi-wellness services by Clinique La Prairie.

By 2030, The Estate plans to open 15 hotels and residences – one of which will open on the island of St Kitts in the West Indies in 2026.

The brand also plans urban longevity centres in major markets to allow for continued maintenance beyond the hotel experience. The first of these will be Century Plaza in Los Angeles – an expansive development by the Reuben Brothers that spans six acres.

Kenneth Ryan, former VP of global operations for spa, fitness and retail at Marriott was appointed chief longevity officer for The Estate earlier this year.
