Superpower, the company empowering members to take control of their health, today announces the launch of the world’s first health super-app—beginning with the most comprehensive biomarker testing service on the market to deliver proactive, preventative, and personalised healthcare to everyone. The company is also announcing a $30 million Series A funding round led by Forerunner, with participation from Day One Ventures, Susa Ventures, Long Journey Ventures, Family Fund, Opal Ventures, Valia Ventures, Visible Ventures, Winklevoss Capital, and notable celebrity backers including Vanessa Hudgens, Steve Aoki, Logan Paul, and NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Problem
Most people know more about the menu at their local coffee shop than what’s happening in their own bodies. We track 10,000 steps and heart rates on a watch, but most of us lack access to the deeper health data that truly matters. Comprehensive health testing that reveals what’s really happening inside your body has historically remained locked behind physician gatekeepers, six-figure concierge price tags, and reports written in medical jargon that are difficult to understand without specialist knowledge.
And even when you do get testing, those critical insights end up scattered across different patient portals, each with their own forgotten password. Superpower eliminates these barriers entirely, giving its members the tools to take control of their health and identify potential concerns before they develop into serious conditions.
Max Gomez, Co-Founder of Breathwrk and one of the earliest customers, has been using the product for about a year, shares, “I can safely say that Superpower is the single best investment I’ve made in my health and wellbeing. The more I learn, the more I realize almost everything in life is connected to the health of your body and yet it took me more than three decades to learn how it works. It almost feels like I’ve finally unlocked cheat codes for the game of life.”
The Story Behind the Mission
Founded in 2023 by Jacob Peters, Max Marchione, and Kevin Unkrich, Superpower’s founders discovered the hard way that critical health data wasn’t reaching the people who needed it most. Jacob Peters nearly lost his life after spending $2 million navigating misdiagnosed conditions that specialists missed. Max Marchione endured decades of health struggles misdiagnosed by 20 different doctors. Co-founder and CTO Kevin Unkrich lost his best friend to a brain tumor in his teens— just 2 days before he was scheduled for an MRI. These aren’t isolated cases: 40% of Americans suffer from preventable conditions that could be addressed earlier with the right information. Superpower exists to deliver that data.
The company has already attracted 150,000+ people to its waitlist. Some of those who have gained early access explain the value the product brings: “I was with a group of Superpower users last night that were all comparing their superpower scores at the dinner table. Surreal to see this out in the open. Each person had biometrics out of range. Through the discussion they all collectively mentioned that they wanted even more context on things that could impact why things are out of range. Wanted to know why some biomarkers might be more concerning than others.”
From Mystery to Roadmap
For $499/year, Superpower’s super-app offers biannual lab testing that analyzes over 100 blood biomarkers across 21 categories–10x more comprehensive than a standard physical. Superpower then centralizes any past medical records, fitness trackers and genetics – connecting this data with all of the world’s health knowledge to create personalized protocols based on your unique biology. Members also get text access to a real concierge physician team, and 24/7 AI-enhanced guidance that evolves as you do–all from your phone.

Tests take just 10 minutes, twice a year, completed either at home or at one of 2,000+ partner labs nationwide. The result? Health is no longer a mystery—it becomes a clear, actionable roadmap.
“Everyone deserves to understand what’s happening in their body without a medical degree,” said Jacob Peters, Superpower’s Co-founder and CEO. “Our platform puts comprehensive blood testing and easy-to-understand health insights directly into people’s hands–where this information belongs. The days of being in the dark about your health and dealing with confusing lab result printouts are over.”
Put Your Health Into Your Own Hands
Whilst other companies like Inside Tracker and Function Health stop at blood testing, superpower provides a comprehensive care platform to take members all the way to optimal health. That means providing a 24/7 health concierge (beta) with a private medical team, comprehensive marketplace of discounted health products, a comprehensive annual report with 17 precision health scores, and all the power of concierge medicine in your pocket.
“The US health system currently leaves most people visiting primary care doctors on a reactive basis after a problem arises, not before”, said Marchione. “We built Superpower to transform how you interact with your health, and are on a mission to rescue 100 million people from the limits of traditional reactive care.”
Superpower is the first to combine extensive testing, clinical-grade diagnostics, functional medicine protocols, and always-on AI health guidance into a single app, offering:
- Biannual lab testing: Superpower analyzes 100+ blood biomarkers across 21 categories, including hormone health, longevity, immune regulation, inflammation, nutrients and toxins, giving you a complete picture of what’s happening in your body.
- Personalized protocols: While it takes 17 years for research evidence to reach traditional patient care, Superpower’s automatically translates complex test results into clear, actionable steps based on the latest scientific findings, making it easy to understand what your results mean and what to do next.
- Superpower Score and Biological Age: Benchmarks that track your overall health progress and identify specific areas for improvement.
- Integrated health marketplace: Connects members directly to vetted solutions through its integrated marketplace of specialists, prescriptions, and targeted supplements.
- 24/7 concierge care: Through Superpower’s AI and human hybrid care team, members can message for personalized guidance based on their comprehensive health profile.
- Additional specialty tests: These include a toxins screening, gut microbiome analysis, and Grail cancer screening that can detect over 50 types of cancer before symptoms appear.
Behind the platform is a team of experts in integrative medicine, cardiology, oncology, and longevity science, combining clinical rigor with AI innovation.
“In my time investing, one of the largest secular trends we’ve seen is consumer willingness to spend on their health and wellness. Today, health is no longer just clinical, it’s aspirational,” said Kirsten Green, Founding Partner at Forerunner. “The delta between what people know about their bodies and what they could know is massive. Superpower’s opportunity is to close this gap, empowering people with true personal agency via proactive insights and action.”
Building The Future Of Healthcare
“Our goal is to build the world’s most intelligent health optimization system–where your data isn’t just tracked, it’s understood and acted on instantly,” said Dr. Anant Vinjamoori, Harvard MD and Chief Longevity Officer at Superpower. “We’re building a future where healthcare transforms how people live, not just how long.”
As the healthcare landscape shifts from reactive to proactive care, Superpower is poised to lead a new era of personalised health. By putting clinical-grade diagnostics, real-time insights, and concierge-level support in the hands of everyday people, the company is redefining what it means to be truly informed and empowered. Superpower isn’t just building an app—it’s building the future of healthcare.
