Expensive specialty labs shouldn’t gatekeep comprehensive health insights, yet most people get the same basic blood panel their grandparents did. Superpower recently raised $30 million Series A to change that reality, offering consumers direct access to 100+ biomarker tests alongside AI-powered health guidance for a fraction of traditional costs.
From Personal Pain to $30M Solution
The funding round, led by Forerunner Ventures and nearly double oversubscribed, stems from co-founder Jacob Peters’ brutal healthcare journey—undiagnosed conditions that cost him $2 million and countless specialist visits. His co-founder Max Marchione faced similar frustration, seeing 20 doctors before getting answers.
Their solution integrates:
- Biannual lab testing
- AI insights trained on medical literature
- 24/7 concierge physician access through a single app
The platform emerged from a two-year beta period that attracted over 150,000 people to their waitlist.
Testing Revolution Meets Wallet Reality
Your annual membership runs $199-$499 depending on location—significantly undercutting Function Health’s $365 offering despite analyzing similar biomarker breadth. Superpower tests over 100 markers across 21 categories including hormone health, inflammation, and biological age through partnerships with 2,000+ labs like Quest Diagnostics.
The platform centralizes past medical records, fitness tracker data, and genetics to generate personalized protocols you can actually follow. Results arrive within a week, and the testing is HSA/FSA eligible.
AI Meets MD in Your Pocket
“The delta between what people know about their bodies and what they could know is massive,” explains Forerunner’s Kirsten Green, whose firm previously backed health disruptors like Hims. Superpower’s AI processes medical research alongside your biomarker trends, delivering insights that CTO Kevin Unkrich says enable “real-time personalization previously impossible.”
The 150,000-person waitlist suggests people crave this level of health agency. Members access concierge physicians via text messaging, creating ongoing health partnerships rather than episodic care.
Prevention Gets Personal
Available in select U.S. states, Superpower’s testing proves 10 times more comprehensive than standard physicals. Add-ons include gut microbiome analysis and Grail’s multi-cancer screening, which detects 50+ cancers before symptoms emerge.
The celebrity investor roster—from Giannis Antetokounmpo to Logan Paul—signals mainstream appeal for proactive health management. Your doctor visit becomes collaboration, not interrogation, as you arrive armed with months of personalized health data and AI-generated insights.
