Hi.

Welcome to Wisen. I'll certainly admit that if you can figure out how to stop aging, it will be a way bigger accomplishment than having figured out how to stream movies to peoples phones.

Without going into too much detail (since best I could do was a B- in AP Bio back in highschool) what is the approach your taking? How does this translate into a company?
