Max Marchione is the cofounder and President of Superpower, a startup that is reinventing digital health by offering patients a comprehensive panel of 100+ labs, an online panel that centralizes all of their health data in one place, and access to world-class longevity clinicians to help them lead longer and better lives. Prior to Superpower, Max has spent the last five years as an investor and serial entrepreneur as the founder of Next Chapter, Ultraviolet Ventures, and Fractal Capital.
Key Takeaways:
- After years of struggling with chronic health issues, Max was inspired to cofound Superpower to help democratize access to the world’ best concierge medicine.
- Superpower launched with a manifesto highlighting the brokenness of the current healthcare system and quickly went viral, building a waitlist of hundreds of thousands of people looking for a better way to manage their health.
- The company now offers a $499/year subscription that gives members biannual labs to test 100+ blood biomarkers, 24/7 access to concierge medicine through a dedicated health team, and the ability to purchase diagnostic tests, supplements, and other medical products and services through an online marketplace.
- Similar to models like CostCo and Amazon Prime, Superpower ultimately hopes to make healthcare more convenient and less expensive by bundling a comprehensive set of medical products and services into a single membership.
- Eventually, Max expects that AI will surpass human doctors, unlocking profound new possibilities for diagnosing and treating medical conditions that will make healthcare significantly better, faster, and cheaper than it is today.
