San Francisco-based AI startup ⁠SuperMe has raised $20 million in Series A funding to expand its professional knowledge network. The round was led by ⁠Forerunner, through founding partner Kirsten Green, with participation from ⁠Greylock Partners. The company will use the investment to attract more experienced professionals, improve how its platform matches expertise to users’ questions and expand access through existing AI tools.

Founded in 2024 by Casey Winters, Co-founder and CEO, and Ludo Antonov, Co-founder, SuperMe develops AI-powered profiles based on the professional knowledge and experience people choose to share. The founders previously worked together at Pinterest, where they helped scale the platform’s user base, and bring experience from companies including Grubhub, Eventbrite, Lyft and Whatnot.

Turning Professional Experience Into AI-Powered Advice

SuperMe allows professionals to create interactive AI profiles that represent their expertise, giving other users access to their knowledge without requiring them to participate in every conversation. These profiles can draw on work documents, published content and other sources selected by their owners, helping users explore how experienced operators have approached similar business and career challenges.

The platform can connect to tools such as Google Drive, Notion and Granola to incorporate relevant professional knowledge. It can also use published LinkedIn and X posts, Substack articles and podcast appearances. Contributors control what information their profiles can access and share, allowing them to make their experience available while keeping private material outside public conversations.

Alongside the funding announcement, SuperMe introduced group conversations that bring multiple AI expert profiles together to discuss a user’s question. The platform selects relevant profiles and allows them to exchange perspectives, identify disagreements and explore different approaches. Users can follow the conversation as it develops or review a summary of the main insights afterward.

The feature is designed for questions that benefit from several professional perspectives, such as evaluating product experiments, comparing career opportunities, developing new features or preparing for startup fundraising. Users can also create their own Work Groups or choose from more than 200 existing groups organised around topics including product development, marketing, growth and leadership.

Expanding the Network Through ChatGPT and Claude

SuperMe has also introduced integrations that allow users to access its network directly within ChatGPT and Claude. Rather than moving between applications, users can request perspectives from relevant professionals while working on a project, analysing a business problem or developing a strategy in their existing AI conversations.

The company launched its platform publicly in November 2025, positioning it as an alternative way to access professional knowledge that would otherwise remain within private networks, workplace documents or individual conversations. Its AI profiles are intended to help experienced professionals share what they know without having to produce additional content or schedule one-to-one calls.

The $20 million Series A will support further expansion of the network, particularly among professionals with experience in product development and growth. SuperMe also plans to improve how it identifies relevant expertise and makes that knowledge accessible through the tools people already use.

Forerunner founding partner Kirsten Green, who led the investment, highlighted the company’s potential to make professional knowledge more accessible through AI. The firm has previously worked with Winters through his advisory roles with portfolio companies and sees the combination of professional expertise and AI-powered interaction as an opportunity to develop a new type of knowledge network.

SuperMe currently has offices in San Francisco and Ho Chi Minh City and is recruiting for community and content roles as it expands its network. The company aims to make professional experience easier to discover and apply, while giving contributors greater visibility for the knowledge they have developed throughout their careers.
