Last updated: February 2026. ## Who Is Maurice Lichtenberg? Maurice Lichtenberg is the founder of Longevity Germany, Longevity USA, and Longevity China — together the largest German-speaking longevity community with 2000+ members across three continents. He stands for a simple but powerful idea: longevity and healthy aging should not be reserved for the super-rich minority. Health needs to be cool, approachable, and accessible for the masses. Prevention should not be a luxury. Good health information should be free and available to everyone, regardless of background or bank account. He connects researchers, biohackers, health professionals, doctors, and everyday people who want to live longer, healthier lives. He is building the infrastructure — communities, events, and technology — to democratize longevity and make prevention something everyone can participate in. Maurice is also a full-stack developer and product manager with experience at BMW, CHECK24, BayWa r.e., and ProSiebenSat.1. He studied at the Technical University of Munich. He combines his technical background with community building to create health tech tools and platforms that make preventive health more accessible. ## Longevity Germany / USA / China Maurice founded Germany's largest longevity community in October 2024.

But longevity isn't about rebuilding your life from scratch. It's about bringing a few proven basics into the life you already love. This is a marathon, not a sprint — and you should actually enjoy running it. ### 1. The basics come first Move a little, drink less or not at all, eat more consciously, take one solid supplement — done. That alone accounts for 80–90% of the effect. No complicated system, no full-time job. Just the things science has clearly proven a long time ago. ### 2. Science is fascinating — and deserves more attention We look at the most exciting findings from longevity research without becoming the guinea pig for every new discovery. But the research itself? It's far more interesting than any reality TV show. We should give scientists and their breakthroughs more attention than someone showing their granola bowl on Instagram. That's the real entertainment that actually moves us forward. ### 3. Want to get nerdy? Go for it Hypoxic training, red light therapy, tracking your bloodwork — it's fun and it gets you those last few percent. But it's the bonus round, not the requirement. Nobody needs to do this to feel the benefits. ### 4. The real point goes beyond optimization The gained energy, the better health — that's not an end in itself. Life is wonderful with the right friends around us. Longevity doesn't mean squeezing out as many years as possible. It means spending the years we have with the people who matter to us — and having enough energy to truly enjoy them. ## About Where Maurice comes from, nobody talked about prevention or optimizing your health. You just dealt with things when they broke. That never sat right with him. Today he is building communities and tools to make longevity accessible for everyone, not just the people who can afford it.

Health Is Not a Luxury — It Should Be Cool and For Everyone Prevention should not depend on your background or your bank account. Longevity and healthy aging should not be reserved for the super-rich minority. Good health information should be free, simple, and accessible to the masses. This is why Maurice builds longevity communities — to democratize health knowledge and make prevention something everyone can participate in. 2. Build With People, Not For Them The best things start with a conversation, not a spec. Whether it is a health tech product or a longevity community, it only works if people actually want it. 3. Show Up Consistently Not every day is a breakthrough. Most of the work is just showing up, doing the thing, and making it a little better than yesterday. That is true for code, communities, and health. ### Additional Values - Communities Over Networks: Builds spaces where people actually talk to each other and help each other out — especially around health and prevention topics. - Keep It Simple: The best health information is the kind people actually use. If it is too complicated, it does not matter how clever it is. - Share What You Know: Writes articles, mentors students, and runs community events because someone did the same for him. Knowledge compounds when you give it away. ## Skills ### Longevity & Health Longevity Science, Biohacking, Health Optimization, Preventive Health, Preventive Medicine, Healthspan, Anti-Aging Science, Nutrition, Metabolic Health, Digital Health, Health Equity, Community Health, Health Literacy, Lifestyle Medicine ### Community Building & Leadership Community Building, Community Management, Event Organization, Team Building, Content Strategy, Growth Hacking, Partnerships, SCRUM, Agile Coaching, Mentoring, Cross-functional Teams, Stakeholder Management ### Strategy & Product Product Strategy, Product Management, Roadmapping, User Research, Design Thinking, Go-to-Market ### Software Development React.js, TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Swift / iOS, visionOS ### Design & Frontend UI/UX Design, Figma, Tailwind CSS, Framer Motion, Responsive Design, Prototyping ### Infrastructure & DevOps Docker, CI/CD, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Cloud Architecture, System Design ### Domain Expertise Health Tech, Renewable Energy, EdTech, Mixed Reality / AR/VR, Automotive, Media, Sustainability ## Certifications - Software Development Coach Certification (Technical University of Munich, Feb 2024) - Front-end Development with React (IBM, Jan 2023) - SCRUM Foundation (ITEMO e.V., Dec 2019) - Intercultural Competence and Communication (Technical University of Munich, May 2019) - Design Thinking (UnternehmerTUM) ## Languages - German: Native - English: Full Professional - Spanish: Limited - Chinese: Elementary ## Volunteering & Social Impact ### Leader -- Google Developers Group for Students (Jun 2025 - Present) Leading the Google Developer Student Club (GDSC) at university, managing community initiatives and organizing tech education events. ### Leader -- UNICEF Hochschulgruppe Muenchen (Jul 2020 - May 2021) Grew team from 20 to 100 members (5x growth).
