SuperMe Secures $20 Million to Scale AI-Driven Expert Knowledge Network
Startup SuperMe has raised $20 million in a funding round led by Forerunner's Kirsten Green, with participation from Greylock Partners. The company is building an AI-driven platform that creates digital profiles of real-world experts by synthesizing their public and private knowledge from sources like LinkedIn, YouTube, and personal productivity tools. Users can interact with these AI personas via group chats to receive specialized advice on niche topics. Founded in 2024 by industry veterans Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov, SuperMe aims to democratize access to high-level expertise that is typically locked within private professional networks. The platform currently operates for free but plans to implement a paid model based on usage limits. To ensure interoperability, the startup utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing users to engage with their expert network directly through existing chatbots like Claude and ChatGPT.
