The Transhumanist Party

What The Transhumanist Party does

The U.S. Transhumanist Party (USTP) is a privately held U.S. political organization founded on October 7, 2014, by Zoltan Istvan, with Gennady Stolyarov II serving as Chairman since inception. Headquartered in Mill Valley, California, and operating as an all-volunteer officer team with free worldwide membership, the party explicitly positions itself as putting 'science, health, and technology at the forefront of American politics.' Its platform spans radical life extension, human enhancement, AI policy, space colonization, biotechnology, and rational, evidence-based governance, opposing the two-party duopoly.

Its core 'products' are political artifacts rather than commercial software: the member-authored Transhumanist Party Platform, the Transhumanist Bill of Rights (Version 3.0), and member-voted policy planks (9 platform votes and 20 total member votes conducted to date). Educational and cultural products include the weekly Virtual Enlightenment Salon (a YouTube-hosted discussion series), LEV: The Game (Build 0.91, an educational game on longevity escape velocity released July 2025), the 'Death is Wrong' book by Chairman Stolyarov, and the Earth Plexus Curriculum authored by 2024 presidential candidate Tom Ross. Distribution is dominated by free channels: the official website, Facebook, X/Twitter, and YouTube, supplemented by participation in industry events such as RAADfest.

The organization has no commercial revenue model. It is funded exclusively by small-dollar member donations, explicitly disclaims large donors, and is 'not beholden to any particular special interest.' There are no paid memberships, no products for sale, and no disclosed financial statements. The party's 'go-to-market' is grassroots political organizing: members vote on platform planks and endorse candidates for offices ranging from city council to U.S. President; in September 2025, USTP formalized its first coalition with the U.S. Pirate Party ('All Hands for a Free Future') for cross-endorsements, and is currently endorsing five candidates for the 2026 midterms across Ohio, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Wisconsin.
