SuperMe is raising $20 million to expand its network of AI experts. Within this network, users can obtain answers from digital profiles built on real human knowledge. On October 29, 2026, the startup announced that this round of financing was led by Kirsten Green from Forerunner, with Greylock Partners also participating in the investment. The company hopes to use this to attract more users and experts to join.
Key Points
- Forerunner and Greylock Partners support the expansion of SuperMe.
- The platform will organize the profiles of experts with AI into group chats centered around specific issues.
- Currently, the platform can be used for free. In the future, once the maximum number of free questions is reached, it will become a paid service.
The AI expert network of SuperMe attracts senior professionals in the consumer technology field.
Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov founded SuperMe in 2024. Both of them brought their experience from consumer technology companies to this startup, which currently has about 13 employees.
Winters has held senior management positions at Grubhub, Pinterest, and Eventbrite, and has also provided advisory services to Airbnb and Canva on a part-time basis. Antonov has been in charge of engineering teams at several companies, including Pinterest, Lyft, and Whatnot.
This financing is intended to be used for expanding both ends of the network: on one end are people seeking answers, and on the other end are experts providing knowledge. As indicated by Kirsten Green of Forerunner, SuperMe is in a favorable position for building a platform that promotes collaboration between AI and humans.
AI How does the avatar answer questions?
SuperMe will match the user's questions with relevant experts, and then create a group chat composed of AI avatars of these experts. The users interact with these avatars, rather than pulling the experts themselves into the real-time conversation.
For example, if someone wishes to receive feedback on a financing pitch document, they can expect replies from venture capitalists Mercedes Bent, Sarah Tavel, and Josh Elman. Users can also ask questions directly to a particular profile or return to the group they created or joined to continue their inquiries.
The AI expert network of SuperMe gathers knowledge from public materials such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Substack, and blogs. It also invokes connected applications, including Google Drive, Notion, and Gmail, as well as meeting record tools like Granola.
SuperMe indicates that these connected data sources may contain personal information and trade secrets, but the company will exclude such sensitive information from its responses.
Users can submit questions through the website chatbot, or they can also ask questions using Claude and ChatGPT. These links utilize Model Context Protocol, which is MCP. This is a standard that allows the AI chatbot to access external tools and data.
Paid Questions, Expert Incentives, and Recruitment
SuperMe is currently free, but the company plans to set a limit on free questions. After that limit is exceeded, payment will be required for use. The company is also considering implementing incentive mechanisms to encourage experts to contribute more knowledge.
Green's view on this platform essentially lies in this sharing mechanism: a network that motivates participants to contribute what they know while also allowing them to benefit from the knowledge of others.
This startup is hiring technical personnel to improve its conversational AI and expert matching capabilities. At the same time, the company is also recruiting staff for network expansion in order to find experts in areas that it has not yet covered.
