What Supermomos does

Supermomos Inc. is a New York-based, private company founded in 2021 that operates a verified, in-person professional community platform connecting approximately 35,000 founders, investors, Fortune 1000 executives and technology operators across hubs that include New York, San Francisco, Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Toronto, Austin, London, Singapore, Shanghai and Paris. Its core product is a community events and professional networking platform that organizes curated IRL gatherings such as private founders' breakfasts and dinners, the FAANG++ IVY++ Financiers galas, dedicated Female Founders & Funders sessions, the annual Super AI ML Summit, and a dedicated Real Estate Investments community, all delivered via mobile apps on iOS and Android alongside a web platform. Underlying the community is a proprietary AI matching layer (branded the "AI Sorting Hat") that routes members into communities and individually assigns seating at curated events.

The company's two flagship enterprise-facing programs are the NYC AI Landing Pad, a 12-month no-equity accelerator for international AI companies with $5M+ revenue or funding, delivered in partnership with NYCEDC and Lightspeed and supported by Anthropic, Airwallex and Perkins Coie; and the NYC VC Internship Program, a workforce-development pipeline placing CUNY students into NYC-based VC firms, operated with NYCEDC, Everywhere Ventures and CUNY IAR and supported by the Kauffman Foundation. Revenue is generated primarily through (a) a freemium professional platform (free for individuals to host events and build communities) and (b) enterprise event hosting plans, with a Business+ tier at $2,000 per month starting and a white-glove Enterprise bespoke-events tier on multi-year contracts, both positioning the curated professional network as an inventory asset that corporates can sponsor or license for branded activations.

Customer segments explicitly targeted include startup founders with $10M-$100M+ in revenue or funding, investors managing $100M+ AUM funds, Fortune 1000 executives, technology operators, female founders and funders, and accredited investors. Named enterprise clients and event speakers span Cooley LLP, Morrison Foerster, Perkins Coie, Justworks, Zendesk, Vouch Insurance, Bain Capital, Visa Ventures, HSBC Innovation Banking, Wells Fargo, ORIX, Lightspeed, Anthropic, Airwallex, M13, NEA, Okta Ventures, YZi Labs, Plotify and the Singapore Global Network. The company is founder-led by CEO Edwina Yeo (ex-Tiger Global, BCG; Wharton) and CTO Zheng Kaizhong, has a small 11-50 person team, and the only disclosed funding round on record is a $600,000 round dated September 2021 with unspecified investors.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Bevy: Community event software platform powering company-led events (e.g., Google, Atlassian developer communities). Comparable on community-driven GTM and B2B event sponsorship monetization.
• Lunchclub: AI-powered 1:1 professional networking platform. Directly comparable to Supermomos' AI-matching community model, though Lunchclub operates digitally while Supermomos emphasizes IRL curated events.
• Meetup: Largest in-person community/events platform with verified groups across categories and geographies. Same core model of monetizing curated group gatherings, though Meetup is broader and lower-credentialing than Supermomos' founder/investor focus.
• Shapr: Swipe-based professional networking app targeting founders, executives, and operators. Overlaps on verified-member positioning and curated matchmaking, though focused on digital dating-style meetings rather than IRL events.
• Circle: Community-as-a-service platform powering branded communities with events, content, and chat. Provides the underlying SaaS infrastructure layer that an enterprise-grade community platform like Supermomos could either build on or compete with.

Broad incumbents

• Activate (formerly CSpace): Experiential marketing and high-touch community events for Fortune 1000 executives. Comparable on the curated senior-executive networking experience Supermomos delivers via FAANG++ IVY++ Financiers Galas, but at a larger scale and different GTM.
• Hopin (RingCentral Events): Virtual and hybrid events platform acquired by RingCentral. Competes for event hosting budgets and corporate sponsorships, though focused on digital rather than curated IRL experiences.
• Y Combinator: Premier startup accelerator with a powerful founder community and alumni network. Comparable on the founder/Investor community network effects and accelerator-driven GTM, though YC's scale and brand dwarf Supermomos' NYC-anchored programs.
