The virtual platform makes it easy for people
to access personalized, preventative, and longevity focused
medicine.
Superpower, a healthcare platform that makes it easy for people
to access personalized, preventative, and longevity-focused
medicine, announced today that it has raised $4 million in pre-seed
funding. The round was led by Susa Ventures with participation from
Long Journey Ventures, Family Fund, Atman VC, 24 Carrot VC,
Focalpoint Partners, and Seaside Ventures. Also participating in
the round were several prominent angel investors including Cameron
and Tyler Winklevoss, Balaji Srinivasan, Scott and Cyan Banister,
and Evan Charles Moore the Co-Founder of Doordash. Since its
founding in early 2023, Superpower has built a nationwide
healthcare platform, integrated with hundreds of testing and
treatment partners, and rolled out a beta membership model.
Superpower’s mission is to empower every person with
personalized, preventative, and performance enhancing
healthcare.
Founded by serial entrepreneurs Kevin Unkrich, Max Marchione,
and Jacob Peters, the Superpower team believes that if healthcare
were built today, it would look completely different. Personalized
and preventative. Digital-first and tech-forward. With an iconic
community and brand, plus a seamless consumer experience like we’ve
come to expect from companies such as Apple or Tesla.
After starting two prior companies now privately valued at over
$500 million, CEO Jacob Peters says he was inspired to build a
healthcare company after a personal health scare left him
hospitalized for over 3 months with a multi-million-dollar bill,
that was most likely preventable. “After not getting the care I
needed, I spent over two years on an extensive healing journey that
led me to the frontier of modern medicine, where I worked with a
half dozen high end, concierge medicine doctors to fully heal
myself. The difference between the reactive, one-size-fits-all
primary care I had received – versus the integrative, proactive
model you can access privately if you have money and are in the
know – was staggering. We realized there was an opportunity to
build a new type of technology company to democratize this superior
model of medicine for everyone, making it easier for us all to feel
healthier, live longer and be disease free,” says Peters.
Superpower is looking to close the gap between medicine for the
.1% and everybody else, enabling every household in the nation to
find a level of personalized care that has historically only been
available to the wealthiest of people.
By combining whole-body testing, concierge clinicians paired
with AI, and an ecosystem of the best treatments, they seek to
become a person’s health partner for life.
Superpower is opening its waitlist and plans to onboard new
members every week throughout the remainder of 2024.
“We're building the healthcare system we want for ourselves and
our loved ones. One that is holistic, data-driven, and can support
the problems that have classically been neglected by healthcare:
nutrition, sleep, inflammation, gut health, hormones, toxins, and
longevity, amongst others. Preventative medicine is just getting
started,” says Co-Founder and COO, Max Marchione.
"Superpower wants to help build a healthcare system that
prioritizes preventative care, as well as uses healthcare as a tool
for longevity and performance enhancement,” says Superpower
Co-Founder and CTO, Kevin Unkrich.
Superpower has created tools that make it easy to test your
entire body every year that are significantly more comprehensive
than a traditional primary care physical, with results tracked
across your lifetime, and personalized insights from a medical team
designs a custom health strategy that evolves with you.
The platform also keeps members up to date with the latest
trends and scientific research, continually evaluating new tests,
technologies, and protocols to help reliably predict future disease
at the earliest moment possible, solve acute health problems
holistically, and enhance human performance. A dedicated Superpower
research team constantly scans the world to curate the best health
solutions for its marketplace.
“Our vision is to build the world’s first all-in-one digital
clinic to bring preventative and longevity focused healthcare to
every human, along with a unique brand proposition paired with a
powerhouse Silicon Valley native engineering and design team that
this industry has not yet seen,” says Superpower physician Dr.
Jonathan Richina, MD, formerly One Medical.
“Superpower’s mission is deeply personal to us,” says Unkrich.
“We’ve experienced firsthand how doctors with the right tools can
help us to become the best versions of ourselves. I’m thrilled to
team up with my business partners to get more people access to the
world’s best healthcare.”
