Jacob Peters

Jacob Peters (Com ’17 CM) led his health tech startup, Superpower, through a $30 million Series A fundraising process, receiving backing from world-class investors, including Forerunner Ventures. Superpower, dubbed the “world’s first health super app,” is on a mission to make it easy for people to take control of their health, giving members concierge access to hundreds of lab tests that are typically hard to obtain, along with an AI doctor to interpret the results and help them live longer, healthier lives. The company was recently featured in Forbes.

Peters founded the company after nearly losing his life to healthcare failures, getting stuck with a $2 million hospital bill and losing half his stomach due to a misdiagnosis and preventable condition. Prior to founding Superpower, and after graduating from McIntire, he spent a year on Wall Street working at J.P. Morgan, started a venture capital fund called Launch House, and built another software startup, Commsor, which has raised $70 million to date.
