Building a Better SuperMe, and Raising a $20 Million Series A

SuperMe is the network for builders who want to think it through with people who have been there. It turns the work and experience people choose to share into profiles you can talk to. These SuperMe profiles can answer questions and help you think through challenges, without the person behind them needing to join the conversation. If you have experience to share, creating a SuperMe can help others learn from you and get you recognized for what you know, without requiring another networking call or social media post.

Today, we’re announcing our $20M Series A funding round, led by Kirsten Green at Forerunner with participation from Greylock Partners. This new capital will accelerate our mission: to make the human insight behind the world’s best work available to everyone.

Since we launched almost a year ago, we’ve made two big changes we’re excited to show you. You can now bring multiple SuperMes into a group chat, and you can access the network from Claude, ChatGPT, and the other tools where you already work.

Don’t just ask a question. Start a group chat.

Now when you bring a challenge to SuperMe, SuperMe pulls in the most relevant profiles into a group chat so they can discuss, and you can see where they agree and disagree. SuperMe carries the conversation forward with the group, so you don’t have to prompt every exchange. You can follow the discussion in real time or read a summary of the main insights when it finishes. The conversation stays private unless you choose to share it. You no longer need to have the best network to get the best insights.

Have a list of people you trust on a topic? Create a Work Group, or choose from over 200 that have already been created.

People use group chats today to answer questions like:

• Experimentation: This experiment improved some metrics and hurt others. How should I interpret the tradeoffs, and should we roll out the change?

• Career advice: I’m deciding between two offers. How should I compare the paths they open up, and what should I negotiate?

• Product development: Customers are asking for a feature I haven’t built before. What approaches should I consider before working with my coding agent to build it?

• Startup fundraising: Analyze my pitch deck. Which parts of the story are the weakest, and which questions should I be most prepared to answer?

Bring the SuperMe network into ChatGPT and Claude

When SuperMe first launched almost a year ago, we were surprised by the level of detail in the questions people asked. Users were porting over a ton of context to get the most value out of the network. Now you can ask SuperMe for perspectives inside the same ChatGPT or Claude conversation where you’re already doing the work. It should feel as easy as tapping a co-worker on the shoulder. And as an operator, your expertise now answers questions where people already ask them, under your own name.

For example, if you’re working on a product strategy in Claude, you can ask SuperMe for perspectives from operators who have faced similar decisions. You can work through that feedback in the same conversation, alongside the context you’ve already developed.

The best operators shouldn’t need to be creators to get recognized

For people with years of meaningful experience, sharing what you know has usually taken time away from doing great work. Live calls take up valuable time on the calendar. Content creation is a new skill for most, and the self-promotion feels inauthentic. You shouldn’t have to become a full-time marketer or content creator just to get recognition for what you know. Your knowledge itself should make you discoverable.

We like to think of SuperMe as a passive engine for your reputation. By creating a profile built from the work you choose to share and the tools you choose to connect, your perspective is pulled into relevant conversations right when founders, leaders, and builders need it most.

A lot of what people learn at work never becomes a public post. SuperMe can draw on sources like Granola, Google Drive, and Notion to find useful insights in the work you choose to share. If you publish, it can also sync your LinkedIn and X posts, Substack articles, and podcast appearances. We identify the insights that are useful to others while keeping private context private without you needing to set up any fancy configuration.

You decide what your profile knows, and it turns your experience into compounding reputation, better career opportunities, and stronger hiring. As your SuperMe helps people, they can discover your experience and choose to reach out about working together, career opportunities, or a problem they want to explore further. You decide which conversations to take.

What’s next

Our goal is to build the knowledge network modern builders run on. With this funding, we’re bringing more people with product and growth experience onto SuperMe, improving how we match their experience to your questions, and making the network easier to use in the tools where you already work.

As more people share what they’ve learned on SuperMe, more people can benefit from experience that would otherwise stay within someone’s team or personal network. We want to make that experience available whenever you’re facing an important decision about your business or career.

We believe if we keep bringing the best people in the world and showcase their knowledge for every decision you make about your business or career, everyone will make better career and business decisions.

To our community of operators, builders, and partners: thank you for shaping SuperMe with us.
