Key points
- SuperMe raises $20M led by Forerunner, with Greylock Partners participating
- Platform uses AI to simulate expert profiles from public data and connected apps
- Free model will cap questions and introduce paid tiers, targeting niche expertise access
The platform uses public sources like LinkedIn, YouTube, and Substack, as well as connected apps such as Google Drive and Notion, to build AI profiles of experts. Users can ask questions—such as analyzing a pitch deck or refining a career strategy—and receive answers from AI versions of prominent figures like VCs Mercedes Bent, Sarah Tavel, and Josh Elman. SuperMe integrates with chatbots like Claude and ChatGPT via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The current free model will eventually cap question limits and introduce paid tiers, while the company explores incentives for experts to contribute more knowledge. SuperMe has 13 employees and is hiring for AI model improvements and network expansion.
