## Summary

SuperMe, a startup that creates AI-powered chat networks of simulated profiles from real industry experts, has secured $20 million in funding. The round is led by Kirsten Green at Forerunner, with participation from Greylock Partners. Founders Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov, both with backgrounds in large consumer companies, launched SuperMe in 2024 to democratize access to niche expertise through AI-generated conversations.

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.
