It's official! I just announced my company and $4 million raise
Hi there!
For the past year, I’ve been quietly building the healthcare company I wish the world had.
Today, I just announced Superpower to the world alongside our $4 million pre-seed round.
You can learn more from my announcement post on LinkedIn.
I'd love your support with a comment to help it reach more people!
But how did I get here?
For 10 years, I faced misdiagnosis, saw 20 doctors, had surgery, and was told to medicate for life.
And I wasn’t a lone story.
There are too many others who feel failed by a health system that is years behind the science, ignores red flags, reacts too late, and misses the full picture.
But it didn’t have to be this way.
So, 18 months ago, I uprooted my life in Australia and moved to the US to try to improve this messy system.
Since then, I’ve experienced first-hand just how broken healthcare is by working in a doctor’s clinic, investing in 10 healthtech companies, and deep-diving into over 360 more.
I realized that there is a generational opportunity to bring a new, consumer-first healthcare system to life. One that consolidates many of the fragmented experiences a person has with healthcare today and brings them into one place.
I realized that much of the dogma in healthcare isn’t true, and instead believe that:
Root-cause, personalized, data-driven preventative medicine is the future, but the knowledge to deliver it is stuck inside the brains of a select few 10x doctors.
Horizontal, one-stop platforms will be way people get the majority of their healthcare.
Healthcare can actually be delivered as a product, but doing so requires dynamic care journeys and a bundled approach to healthcare.
The healthcare market is ripe for an iconic brand and community with deep consumer affinity.
Preventative medicine can be insurance compatible with the right billing strategy, and it can be defensibly distributed b2b2c.
I share more about what I’m building in my post on LinkedIn.
