About
Bain-Kim is Lifeforce's Co-Founder & CEO, leading the national telehealth longevity membership he started in 2021 alongside Tony Robbins, Peter H. Diamandis MD, Courtney Reum, and Joel Jackson. Australian-born, he began his career in finance in London; joining BlackRock's European equities desk straight out of Australia and making Vice President by his fourth year. He left finance in his late 20s after deciding his work needed an intrinsic mission; he then spent the early 2020s building what Lifeforce positions as a consumer-accessible version of the longevity care once limited to the wealthy. He holds an MBA from the University of Cambridge and is based in the Los Angeles area.
What to Know
Signature approach
Bain-Kim leads Lifeforce from the company-building side: strategy, fundraising, team, product direction, and the operating model behind a national telehealth membership. His public thesis is simple: make longevity care feel as structured and repeatable as a consumer subscription, while keeping clinician oversight in the loop.
What sets them apart
- Finance-to-healthcare operator. He moved from European equities at BlackRock into consumer health, bringing a scale and subscription lens to Lifeforce.
- Founder CEO, not outside advisor. Bain-Kim is the day-to-day chief executive behind the membership model.
- Personal prevention thesis. His public writing and interviews frame Lifeforce around earlier intervention, better data, and less reactive care.
