I'm still not sure if SENS should stay non-profit. It produced great results, it would get much more money if it would convert to a for profit company. At the same time it's important to keep the control near Aubrey de Grey, as he has a great track record of staying focused.

Non-profit doesn't mean they can't make money - just that they can't outfunnel it to shareholders/owners. Whether they would get more research funding from accepting investment instead of donations or if the mission would survive is a separate topic.

  The main goal of going for a for profit company would be to increase funding. It's sad that Vitalik Buterin had to be the biggest donation giver when there are so many people much richer than him (and with shorter expected remaining lifespan).
