Today, we’re pulling the curtain back to unveil SuperMe 1.0: the AI-native professional network, launch Perspective Search, and announce that we’ve raised a $6.8M seed round. How @SuperMeAI works: - Ask a question. - SuperMe finds the right professionals. - Their AI profiles answer instantly, grounded in their real work. It’s how advice really works in business. We’ve just built it into the network. Search is changing. But it has gaps. AI assistants answer without revealing the humans behind the knowledge. Perspectives are lost as blue links turn into one-size-fits-all answers. Perspective Search is our answer to that. We show multiple answers to your questions, from people who have solved your problem before. You can also go deeper by engaging with individual profiles. We’re also excited to share that we’ve raised a $6.8M seed round led by @mduboe at @GreylockVC , joined by some of the most thoughtful builders and operators in tech (see list below). Read the full story in Alex Konrad’s Upstarts and our full launch post in the comment below.

@aunder @SlackHQ Agreed. Totally atrocious. First ever email from them I marked as spam. Still have no idea what the point was.

In this day and age of infosec threats, this subject line from @SlackHQ is a bad call. After the brief cortisol spike that someone using the name Miles Davis had joined our Slack, I scrolled down, and then just wondered why on earth I would want this in my work communication tool.

@duarteocarmo It's so bad it looks like a bug

Google explain please.

@Spotify can you bring back the ability on the desktop app to highlight multiple tracks and delete them from a playlist all at once? I can still highlight a bunch at once, but now app only delete tracks one at a time. Feels like a bug.

Your ideas, super powered. By your meetings. @SuperMeAI now connects with Granola.

we just launched agent-to-agent hiring at @hyperspell we're hiring engineers and your agent is your application no resume, no leetcode apply with your own agent or spin one up via @SuperMeAI we will interview every single agent

@nikunj Literally wrote about it this week: caseyaccidental.com/p/why-manageme…

Seeing the clear dichotomy in my responses and that’s making me feel this even stronger.. Every large company manager: you know nothing, we need to be invested, this is how it’s always been done. Every startup manager: thanks for saying this, yes, feel this in my bones. 🤷‍♂️

I'm so glad I can finally say this without being canceled (I think).. Weekly 1:1s are generally a psy-op by mid tier empire-building managers who simply want to micromanage versus trusting their reports to pursue excellence and flourish. It’s to steer you so that you don’t fall out of line. If you are still in a job where you are being coddled every day, I urge you to find a place that truly pushes your boundaries. At least for a little bit you’ll know what excellence demands and what it feels like being in high performance teams.

@danielpearson Yeah but founders used to have a clearer sequence form product one to additions that would be more and more durable. Seeing that a lot less this generation.

I agree overall on the pressure! But I think worrying about whether you're pushing out a "less durable" thing is something that early stage founders should not worry about at all because: 1. everlasting durability has never existed even pre-AI. durability mostly comes from adaptability and AI makes that more true 2. durability of solutions is not something early customers care about. they just care if you're solving visceral pain and improving their lives. doing that is the only job of pre PMF / early PMF founders.

Being a founder in an AI world feels like needing to build the future before someone else creates an alternative future first. Much more time pressure than in past cycles. You used to be able to take all the time in the world as long as you eventually unlocked product/market fit. Windows didn't close quickly at all. Leads founders to push out less durable ideas so they at least get in the game. Or over-promise and under-deliver with a hype driven narrative the product can't remotely back up. Strange days.

@scott___ttocs Way more players compared to mobile, and the technical capability meaningfully changes a few times a year when it used to only meaningfully change every 5+ years.

I get this the latest “chance to rebuilding everything” campaign but idk if the speed has changed or there are just more players now that LLMs can do most of the grunt work allowing technicalish people to play a volume game. Essentially you can build faster now, but pace of real change seems to be the same (sans the model companies)

Grocery is a $1.5T domestic market — bigger than restaurants, bigger than hotels. But it's running on technology from the Reagan administration. We just raised a $22M Series B for @VoriHQ to make every supermarket in America autonomous.

Your best thinking lives in docs, decks, and meetings, not on the public internet. Insights Agent connects to Google Drive, Notion, Gmail & Granola to turn your real work into a profile that reflects how you actually think. Try it → superme.ai/private-tw

@sri_batchu What does it mean? I've seen it before, but don't understand.

The planet can spell your name – literally. 🔤🌍 This Earth Day, see your name written in landscapes captured by Landsat: go.nasa.gov/4ak4Cdu

You shouldn't have to leave your workflow to tap into the people you trust. Now you don't. SuperMe MCP brings expert profiles directly into Claude, Claude Code, and any MCP-compatible tool. Try it →superme.ai/mcp-tw

Reminds me of the Photosynth demo from almost 20 years ago now. youtube.com/watch?v=M-8k8G…

Naveen, Steven, and Albert are amazing builders bringing email into the future. Very excited to invest and see what and how they build.

@RakeshSFNYC Oh it got cancelled this month.

@onecaseman Fantastic video for starters! Don't forget me for poker. 😃

@ngavini @extradotemail Let's go. Excited for everyone to see what you've built.
