Juan Benet is best known as the inventor of Filecoin, IPFS, and libp2p, and he brings that same protocol-building mindset into neurotech investing, treating the brain as an information system and hosting his own podcast to explore ideas like brain bandwidth and new computational modules for the mind. His interest in neurotech connects to a long-running goal of linking individual brains into a shared collective intelligence, framing it as part of humanity's broader technological future rather than just a medical field.
