SuperMe Raises $20M to Scale AI Profiles of Real-World Experts
SuperMe raises $20 million from Forerunner and Greylock to grow AI expert profiles, improve matching, hire staff and introduce paid user question limits.
Summary
SuperMe announced on October 29, 2026, that it is raising $20 million to expand its user and expert network. Kirsten Green at Forerunner leads the financing, with Greylock Partners participating. Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov founded SuperMe in 2024 after connecting through Whatnot as ChatGPT gained popularity. Winters held executive roles at Grubhub, Pinterest and Eventbrite and advised Airbnb, Canva and Whatnot. Antonov led engineering at startups including Pinterest, Lyft and Whatnot.
SuperMe matches questions with AI profiles built from real experts’ knowledge, then creates group chats supporting follow-ups and direct questions. A pitch deck review, for example, can draw responses from venture investors Mercedes Bent, Sarah Tavel and Josh Elman. Model Context Protocol support also makes SuperMe accessible through Claude and ChatGPT.
The free platform collects knowledge from LinkedIn, YouTube, Substack, blogs, Google Drive, Notion, Gmail and meeting-notetaking tools including Granola. SuperMe says connected data may contain personal information and trade secrets but promises these will not appear in answers. It plans question limits followed by paid access and is considering incentives for experts to contribute more. The 13-person company is hiring to improve conversational models, expert matching and coverage of missing subjects. Green sees an early opportunity to build a network combining human knowledge, AI collaboration and contributor benefits.
