An all-in-one platform with your health data, and personalized solutions to any health need that comes up throughout your life – all from your phone.
One that is powered by the minds of the world’s best doctors, at the cutting edge of science, that proactively helps you live longer, better, and disease free.

<aside> đź’ˇ Why culture matters
Changing healthcare cannot be done alone. It’s a team sport. Culture is what binds us together as a team. It’s a source of our edge. The team we create is the company we create.
At Superpower, culture is the forethought, not an afterthought. We believe that culture must be intentional. It needs to be carefully stewarded. And it cannot be created alone. We all play an active role in shaping culture. We do not seek to preserve our culture — we seek to improve it. Every person who joins us helps to shape and evolve the culture further.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. We are inspired by great cultures that have come before us. We learn from the best and build on the rest so that we can be better.

We are building a dream team. A dream team is one in which all of your colleagues are extraordinary at what they do and highly effective working together. Our version of a great workplace is solving the world’s most important problems alongside the world’s most talented people.
This isn’t a fun place to work because it’s easy. We have high expectations. Sometimes it seems impossible. But high standards are a job perk. We want to change the health of millions of people. We don’t expect it to be easy… greatness and comfort rarely coexist.
We are all in. We are all patient zero and are building the health system we want for ourselves and our loved ones. We live and breathe what we preach, prioritize personal health, and make decisions that genuinely improve the health of our members.
We’re excited by the idea of building a great company with a small A+ team. For this to be possible, it’s essential that the entire team operates with a lot of freedom. The corollary, is that with freedom comes responsibility.
Freedom means that you define your work as much as your manager. And that means you must be proactive with defining your work and getting ahead of your work, often getting ahead of the roadmap weeks in advance.
Freedom means that anyone within the org can be a DRI with ownership over a project. And that means that it’s your responsibility to ensure the project gets done.
Freedom means that you don’t have to wait for permission. And that means we assume positive intent, we support not reprimand, and we don’t implement red tape as a reaction to one thing going wrong one time.
Everyone can proactively bring ideas to the team, reinvent our product, and improve our company. We give each other ownership and expect everyone to take ownership.
To quote one of our favorite ideas from “No Rules Rules”:
A feedback loop is one of the most effective tools for improving performance. We learn faster and accomplish more when we make giving and receiving feedback a continuous part of how we collaborate.
Practically, this means:
- You tell your boss his plan for the retreat won’t work and that you have another idea you think will be better.
- You tell your colleague why you believe she should rethink the project she described.
- You mention to another colleague that he came across as defensive when he was asked to explain a recent decision in all hands.
*It is tantamount to being disloyal to the company if you fail to speak up when you disagree with a colleague or have feedback that could be helpful. ***After all, you could help the business—but you are choosing not to.
With feedback, we follow the 4As:
