SuperMe Raises $20M to Build AI Expert Network for Career and Business Questions
SuperMe matches questions with AI profiles of relevant experts, assembling group chats drawing on LinkedIn, YouTube, Notion and Gmail. Founded by Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov, it raised $20M in October 2026, led by Forerunner’s Kirsten Green.
SuperMe, a startup that creates AI profiles based on the knowledge of real-world experts, announced in October 2026 that it has raised $20 million in a funding round led by Kirsten Green at Forerunner Ventures, with participation from Greylock Partners.
The platform works by analyzing a user’s question and assembling a group chat with AI profiles of the experts best suited to answer it. Users can ask questions such as how to strengthen a pitch deck and receive responses drawn from the AI profiles of experienced venture capitalists. They can also visit individual expert profiles to ask questions directly.
SuperMe was founded in 2024 by Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov. Winters previously held executive roles at Grubhub, Pinterest, and Eventbrite and has advised companies including Airbnb and Canva. Antonov served as head of engineering at Pinterest, Lyft, and Whatnot. The two connected while Winters was advising Whatnot and decided to build an AI-powered knowledge network.
“There are these hidden networks in Silicon Valley of who the best people are for niche skills,” Winters told TechCrunch. “Our idea was: Could we make that network of who the absolute best people are more transparent, and could we take all of the key insights that are locked inside their heads and make them more readily available?”
To build expert profiles, SuperMe pulls from public sources including LinkedIn, YouTube, Substack, and blogs, as well as connected apps such as Google Drive, Notion, and Gmail. The company said personal information and trade secrets gathered through this process do not appear in answers. SuperMe also supports MCP (Model Context Protocol), allowing users to access the platform from within chatbots like Claude and ChatGPT.
The network is currently free, but the company plans to introduce question limits that will require payment beyond a certain threshold. SuperMe employs approximately 13 people and is actively hiring. The funding will be used to scale both its user base and its roster of contributing experts.
