Microsoft plans roughly $25 billion US bond offering
The proposed sale would be its first US investment-grade debt offering in more than nine years, as technology companies seek funding for AI investments.
SuperMe raising $20 million for AI network built on experts’ knowledge
Kirsten Green at Forerunner is leading the funding, with Greylock Partners participating. The startup plans to charge users who exceed a question limit.
SuperMe announced it is raising $20 million to attract more users and experts to its network of AI profiles. The funding is being led by Kirsten Green at Forerunner, while Greylock Partners is also participating.
The platform uses knowledge gathered from real people to answer career and job questions. It matches a query with relevant experts, then assembles their AI profiles in a group conversation. Users can revisit those conversations with follow-up queries or question an individual profile.
Access is free for now. SuperMe intends to limit how many questions users can ask before paying and is exploring incentives for experts to supply more knowledge.
Its information comes from public material on services including LinkedIn, YouTube and Substack, alongside connected tools such as Gmail, Notion and Google Drive. SuperMe acknowledged that these inputs can include trade secrets and personal information, but said it prevents that material from appearing in responses.
Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov established SuperMe in 2024. The startup employs about 13 people and is recruiting to improve conversational models, strengthen question-to-expert matching and bring in experts covering additional subjects.
Support for Model Context Protocol also lets users submit questions through Claude and ChatGPT rather than visiting SuperMe’s website.
