SuperMe raised $20 million for a service where AI versions of top experts answer your career and business questions. It is free now, but limits are coming.
A startup called SuperMe has raised $20 million to grow a service where you can ask career or business questions and get answers from AI versions of well-known industry experts. It is free to use today. The company says it plans to cap how many questions people can ask and then charge for more.
SuperMe is a network of AI profiles built from the knowledge of real experts. You type a question on the website. The platform decides which experts fit best and opens a group chat with their AI profiles. You can come back later to ask follow-up questions, or visit one profile and ask that expert directly.
One example from the company: ask it to analyze your pitch deck, point out the weakest parts of the story and list the questions you should be ready for. Answers come from AI profiles of longtime investors such as Mercedes Bent, Sarah Tavel and Josh Elman.
SuperMe scans public sources such as LinkedIn, YouTube, Substack and blogs. It also draws on connected apps, including Google Drive, Notion, Gmail and the meeting notetaking tool Granola.
SuperMe said some of that data will include personal information and trade secrets. It says it makes sure none of it shows up in answers. That is the company's own assurance, and the article does not describe how it is enforced.
Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov founded SuperMe in 2024. Winters held executive roles at Grubhub, Pinterest and Eventbrite. Antonov was head of engineering at startups including Pinterest, Lyft and Whatnot. Kirsten Green of Forerunner led the new round, and Greylock Partners also invested. The company has about 13 employees and is hiring.
SuperMe also works with MCP, a standard that lets AI chatbots connect to outside tools and data. That means people can ask it questions from inside chatbots such as Claude and ChatGPT.
Trying it costs nothing right now, so it is a low-risk way to get a second opinion on a career or business question. Before connecting Gmail, Drive or Notion, think about what is in those accounts. Public sources alone may be enough to get started.
SuperMe is free for now, but think before connecting private apps like Gmail, since paid limits are coming.
