IDEA TO EXIT
[H2] We're proven operators. We think big & co-found with you.
We stand with you at the whiteboard to understand the problems, find the right market opportunity and our best road in.We never overthink the “how.” We dive in together from day one. Always move fast, dream big, and stay open to what’s possible.People first
[H2] Complete focus on AI & data-centric solutions. We’ve been doing it for decades.
See our approach
[H3] Ideate
We listen for pain. We study buyers and users, plus we develop a deep understanding of the ecosystem. We form strong hypotheses and we test and test, then iterate.
[H3] Co-found
We anticipate staging and sequencing. We tune our approach, and check our hypotheses. We architect and build MVP. Then source the team.
[H3] Fund
We’re highly selective. As the core foundations line up with a talented team, and market truths and timing, we invest and then stand behind our convictions.
[H3] Scale
We’re in it for the long haul, deeply involved in business operations, riding the highs and lows, and we make sure you never run out of capital.

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.

They're in the trenches with you.Gal VeredCo-founder, ChecksumMost 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 AlaviCEO, MazloMost 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.

OUR APPROACH
[H2] We build data & AI-native business solutions. Together.
01
[H3] Identify Opportunities
[H3] Identify Opportunities
[H4] Highly selective and focused
We stick to what we know. Enterprise, B2B that solves complex challenges with rich domain expertise. We know how to engineer AI systems, yet are always focused on creating value in a unique way.
[IMG: Co Found - Highly selective and focused]
02
[H3] Collaborative Partners
[H3] Collaborative Partners
[H4] Work shoulder-to-shoulder
Once our co-founder is on-board, we never sit back and watch from afar. We want real collaborators, not employees. Builders with grit, humility, sharp thinking, and serious speed. True co-founders from day one.
[IMG: Cofound 2 - Collaborative Partners]
03
[H3] Hands-On Support
[H3] Hands-On Support
[H4] Operators that care
We’re proven company builders with business acumen and technical chops—having founded companies acquired by Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, Salesforce, and others. We don’t just critique; we stand at the whiteboard crafting solutions to the toughest problems. No drive-bys but true partners for the full journey.
[IMG: Cofound 3 - Hands-on Support]
04
[H3] The Whole Journey
[H3] The Whole Journey
[H4] Pre-seed to exit
Our model is focused, not one based on volume. We're deeply committed to each company we start. We don't quit. We won't always get it right, but our companies won't die from lack of capital.
[IMG: Cofound 4 - The Whole Journey]
[H2] Co-founders define the strategy together with us from day one
[H3] Grit
Company building isn’t for the meek. We look for co-founders who can take a punch (figuratively), adapt fast, and stay fierce through rejection, pivots, and a lot of “no’s”.
[H3] No Ego
We seek people with strong convictions, loosely held; humble, flexible, and unafraid to ask for help or change course when it’s necessary.
[H3] Organized Thinker
Data and AI tech is about clear thinking, not just code. We seek those who can organize, name, and shape strategy in a way teams can execute.
[H3] Clock Speed
Startups move fast. We team up with co-founders who quickly process new info, think on their feet, and stay on-pace—and we’ll do our best to keep up.
[H2] From pre-seed to a success story
We partner from day one to turn seedling ideas into real companies. With hands-on support, years of business pedigree, capital, and AI engineers on staff, we transform an early stage opportunity into a high-growth business.
[H3] AI-native and value driven
We know how to turn products into business success and we work directly with co-founders to bring sharp, early focus to the MVP. Together, we’ll roll-out and sequence a compelling solution that’s built for scale, ready to take on competitors and become a market leader.
[H3] Co-found with skin in the game
As a co-founder, you’re not joining for a job, you’re in it for the long-haul. At the outset, we stand at the whiteboard with you, shaping the vision together. As the company grows, we stay close, offering mentorship and support when it matters most, for both you and the business.
[H3] Fully funded from the start
As a co-founder, you shape the team, acquire early customers, and drive success without the distraction of a fundraising scramble. We fund each seed-stage company ourselves and stay invested through future rounds, so you can stay focused on the important stuff.
[H3] Keep an open mind & get ahead
Keep your instincts sharp and stay open-minded. Markets shift, competitors appear, and curveballs are constant. Success comes from staying adaptable—ready to adjust, rethink, and lead with clarity no matter what’s around the bend.
[H2] Thesis-driven. Proven playbooks.
The best products are grounded in data, engineered with opinionated workflows, and powered by intuitive, AI-native capabilities. We design with purpose from day one—creating solutions that feel immediate, indispensable, and impossible to work without. This isn’t tech for tech’s sake. We build for impact and lasting value.

[H3] How Software Engineers and Students Use AI to Move Faster than Ever (without breaking things)
The “AI revolution” is really augmented intelligence: humans + tools. super{set} backs teams that are AI-native—putting AI at the core, not as an add-on. For students, the risk is either over-relying on AI (and skipping fundamentals) or under-using it (and falling behind). Universities should teach both rigorous reasoning and modern AI workflows. For developers, agentic tools (e.g., Cursor, Copilot) turn one engineer into a mini dev team—automating boilerplate, tests, docs, and legacy audits—so humans can focus on architecture, edge cases, and creative problem-solving. AI won’t erase jobs; it shifts them, rewarding those who adapt. The near future belongs to builders who pair deep software craft with AI fluency.Read more
