It began with one kid's
crazy dream to save
his pet cat.

Meet the Team

The cryonicists behind Cryopets and their pets

Letter from the founder

Kai Micah Mills

Chief Executive Officer

I started Cryopets to save my cat, Atlas. I dropped out of high school and became an entrepreneur so I could build the science and the company to give her a chance to exist without a time limit. More than a decade later, I'm still on this journey, and I'm lucky to have her by my side to this day.

Along the way, I've founded dozens of organizations, including CryoDAO and HydraDAO, where we've funded millions of dollars in groundbreaking cryopreservation and biological replacement research, getting us closer to achieving our goals.

If you are here because you love someone with four legs, I know the feeling. I started this for her, and now thousands of pets have joined us on this crusade against death. I hope you'll join us too.

For Atlas and all petkind,

Kai Micah Mills
