IM8 (David Beckham & Danny Yeung's health drink startup)
IM8 is a premium longevity supplement brand co-founded by soccer icon David Beckham and serial entrepreneur Danny Yeung, operating as a consumer-health subsidiary of Nasdaq-listed Prenetics. In July 2026, IM8 secured $1 billion in growth financing from General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund (CVF), a non-dilutive facility that funds up to 70% of customer-acquisition spend in exchange for a capped share of cohort revenue rather than equity. Launched in December 2024, IM8 became the fastest-growing premium supplement brand on record, hitting roughly $100 million in annualized revenue within eleven months, and the capital is meant to pour fuel on marketing while ownership stays undiluted.
EMAD MOSTAQUE: AI Will RUN Our Countries Soon! We Aren't Ready!
In a wide-ranging interview on the Beyond Tomorrow podcast, Stability AI founder Emad Mostaque argues that within 30-40 years every country will be run by AI, that democracy is in its final decade or two, and that most digital jobs will be economically irrelevant within roughly a thousand days. He puts his personal probability of catastrophe (P-doom) at 50%, warns of intelligence being rationed by a duopoly of powerful labs, and lays out a counter-vision: sovereign, collectively owned 'national champion' AI utilities that give every citizen access to intelligence and a share of the robot fleet. Along the way he explores AI personhood, brain-computer interfaces, longevity escape velocity, quantum computing, and whether we should push a button to eliminate all human suffering.
