SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Superpower today announced a new partnership with Sequoia to bring a more proactive model of preventive health to employers and their teams. The partnership will begin with Sequoia's own 800+ employee workforce, giving Sequoia firsthand experience with Superpower while simultaneously making the solution available to eligible client organizations across its employer ecosystem.

Employer healthcare often starts after something has already gone wrong. Symptoms appear. A diagnosis is made. Risk shows up as a claim. Superpower is working to shift that experience earlier, helping people better understand their health before issues become more serious and helping employers support preventive care in a more meaningful way.

The partnership with Sequoia is designed to make that model easier for employers to evaluate and adopt. Sequoia works with more than 2,500 companies and reaches more than 600,000 people, giving it a broad view into the challenges employers face as they manage rising healthcare costs, fragmented benefits, and growing demand for more personalized employee support.

Many people want to be more proactive about their health, but the current system can make that difficult. Annual visits often rely on limited testing and provide only a snapshot in time. Health records may be spread across providers, apps, and systems. New technology can make guidance more personalized, but it works best when connected to comprehensive data and clinical support.

Superpower turns a simple blood draw into an ongoing preventive health experience. Members receive 150+ biomarker testing at home, at thousands of lab locations, or onsite. They also receive a longitudinal health profile that can combine labs, health records, and wearable data, along with a personalized action plan, 24/7 Health AI, licensed clinical support, proactive outreach, and retesting to track progress over time. When the data points to care or a benefit an employer already offers, Superpower helps the member understand where to go next.

By partnering with Sequoia, Superpower can bring this experience to an employer audience that is actively looking for more proactive, integrated ways to support workforce health. Sequoia will begin by offering Superpower to its own employees, then use that experience to advise eligible clients that are evaluating comprehensive preventive health as part of their broader benefits strategy.

"Most people are trying to make health decisions with limited information and a fragmented view of their health. Superpower brings together comprehensive testing, technology, and clinical support so people can better understand what is happening in their bodies and take action earlier. Partnering with Sequoia helps us bring that model to employers in a thoughtful, credible way, starting with Sequoia's own team," said Max Marchione, Chief Executive Officer at Superpower.

Sequoia's decision to begin with its own workforce reflects the way many employers are approaching new health solutions: they want to understand the employee experience, the operational requirements, and the potential value before recommending or scaling them more broadly.

"Employers have made significant investments in healthcare, but much of that support begins after a condition is already known. We see an opportunity to help people engage earlier, with better information and clearer next steps. By offering this to our own team, we can learn firsthand what this experience delivers and help clients evaluate whether it fits into their broader preventive health strategy," said Christina Sullivan, Chief Client Officer at Sequoia.

Health costs continue to rise, and employers often have limited visibility into health risks before they become more serious and more expensive. Through this partnership, Superpower and Sequoia aim to help employers move upstream, supporting people earlier, connecting them with appropriate care, and making better use of the benefits already available to them.

Eligible Sequoia client organizations should reach out to their Sequoia representative for more information.
