Company builders. AI native, of course.

We partner with founders that starts with an idea. We bring capital, operational pedigree, and a proven approach with playbooks to win markets and build lasting impact.

OUR APPROACH

Startups built on insight, not hunch

Ideate

In a room we define the problem together, size the market, find use cases, validate need, and scope with timelines.

Cofound

We build MVP with proven expertise, deep technical knowledge, and with a cofounder from day one.

Fund

We stay the course throughout the whole journey. Hands-on and guiding. You’ll never die from lack of capital.

Scale

With proven scale we know the sustainable, repeatable growth plays and we never lose focus or differentiation.

OUR DNA

Great companies start with great people

We hire product-centric co-founders—true collaborators—not employees. Together, we stand at the whiteboard with grit, humility, structured thinking, and clock-speed to build and scale the best startups from day one.

​​One of the things that's been awesome about being a part of the super{set} family is the expertise you get from other groups.  We’re able to work with people who have done it before and with our sister companies, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.

Superset Portrait
India Lossman
Co-founder, Boombox

It’s super easy in the grand scheme of things to build companies in this model. If you’re into the risk adjusted path to doing this, while there’s still risk embedded, it’s nicely adjusted. They’ve done a good job with the model.

Work for Superset
Max Anderson
Co-founder, Ketch

Partnering with super{set} isn't like having an investor; it's like starting day one with an entire team of seasoned co-founders. They're in the trenches with you.

Gal Vered
Co-founder, Checksum

Most people can't see startup problems from the founder's chair. Tom, Vivek, and the super{set} team can, because they've built great companies themselves. Having them in your corner changes everything. If you're a builder who's ready to move fast, super{set} will help you de-risk your idea and drastically increase your chances of hitting escape velocity.

Kian Alavi
CEO, Mazlo

Most studios are not that good. Especially for healthcare, super{set} focuses on solutions, not specific sciences or tools. They ask “How do we solve this problem?” and commit to solving it. Commitment to problem solving. Nothing beats enjoying people’s company and solving hard problems.

Erwin Estigarribia
CEO, Headlamp

I find tremendous value in connecting with other leaders across the Hive, comparing notes on the state of the broader market, and learning from their experiences.  The Hive is a force multiplier.
