After leading growth teams at Eventbrite, Pinterest, and Grubhub and advising dozens of other elite companies, Casey Winters recently cofounded his own startup called SuperMe that is building the professional network for the AI era.
On my podcast, I talk to Casey about how SuperMe creates AI avatars of the world's top experts to help them share knowledge and insights with a much broader audience, about the unique approach he and cofounder Ludo Antonov are taking to build an AI native startup, and about how SuperMe is building agentic growth loops to fuel user acquisition.
