A letter on reactive medicine, people who sweat the details, and the most important numbers you have never seen.
In my first year of college, my dad called me on a Tuesday afternoon and told me, very calmly, that the doctors had found something. Stage 3. He had felt fine. He went in for a physical every year, and every year he heard the same words: everything looks normal, see you in twelve months. It was not normal. Nobody had looked.
I tell that story not because it is unusual, but because it is not. Most serious conditions develop quietly for years before they announce themselves. Heart disease starts decades before a heart attack. Type 2 diabetes shows up in your blood long before it shows up in your life. The information exists. We just do not collect it.
Here is the strange part: we monitor everything else. Your car has two hundred sensors and warns you the moment tire pressure drops. Your bank texts you about a $4 charge. The most sophisticated system you own is your body, and for most people it reports in once a year, through roughly 19 lab values, interpreted in a seven minute appointment.
I spent the last few years building consumer products, and somewhere in there I got my own baseline done, mostly out of curiosity. Two values were off. Both were fixable. Neither had ever been tested in a decade of physicals. That was the moment the abstraction collapsed. This was not a market I was evaluating. It was my own blood.
When I met the Superpower team, the pitch took about ninety seconds, because the product is the argument. Test 100+ biomarkers a year. Baseline everything. Watch the trajectories, not the snapshots. Put a real medical team behind every result. Price it at $199 a year, less than most gym memberships, so prevention stops being a luxury good.
Your body keeps score quietly. Our job is to read it before it raises its voice.
The team is small and unreasonably good. People who shipped products used by millions sit next to clinicians who have read tens of thousands of lab panels. The bar applies to everything: the product, the protocols, the exact wording of a result so a member actually understands what it means for them.
What convinced me, in the end, was a detail. My results arrived and they did not look like healthcare. No fax-machine typography, no cryptic reference ranges, no portal from 2009. A clear story: here is where you stand, here is what changed, here is what to do next. Someone had agonized over every screen. In an industry this important, that level of care is rare, and it compounds.

So I joined. I am here to work on how Superpower shows up in the world: the pages, the products, the first five minutes of being a member. The goal is simple to say and hard to do. Make looking after your health feel less like paperwork and more like progress.
My dad is okay, by the way. They caught it in time, barely, and "barely" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. This company exists so that sentence can be boring one day. Found early. Handled. Nothing to report.
If that sounds like a problem worth your best years, we are hiring. Come build it with us.
