The venture will layer generative AI onto its existing network of industry specialists, letting users pose queries and receive answers curated from AI‑enhanced profiles of real experts.
SuperMe, the AI‑powered professional‑expert marketplace, announced a $20 million Series A round aimed at supercharging its platform with generative AI, turning its existing network of vetted specialists into AI‑enhanced knowledge hubs.
Funding round and investors
The round was led by Horizon Ventures with participation from existing backers AlphaTech and FutureFund. The capital will be used to integrate large‑language‑model capabilities, expand the specialist roster, and accelerate product rollout in North America and Europe.
How AI reshapes expert queries
SuperMe’s new engine lets users type natural‑language questions, which are matched to AI‑augmented profiles of real experts. The system then generates concise answers, drawing on the expert’s documented experience and recent insights, while still offering the option to connect directly with the human specialist for deeper consultation.
This approach aims to reduce the time users spend searching through directories and waiting for replies, delivering near‑instant expertise without sacrificing the credibility of human knowledge.
Market opportunity
The professional‑services market is fragmented, with many firms relying on outdated directories or costly consulting firms. By layering AI over a curated expert network, SuperMe targets businesses seeking rapid, affordable advice across sectors such as fintech, health tech, and renewable energy.
- Instant, AI‑generated answers backed by real experts
- Seamless handoff to human specialists for complex issues
- Scalable pricing model for SMBs and enterprises
SuperMe’s founders, former engineers at OpenAI and LinkedIn, say the platform will initially focus on high‑growth verticals before expanding into broader B2B services.
