Supermemory raises $3M seed (founder story): 20-yr-old pivots from IIT prep to AI founder

Supermemory, an AI startup building “long-term memory engines” for language models, has raised $3 million in a seed round led by Susa Ventures, with participation from Google AI leader Jeff Dean, DeepMind’s Logan Kilpatrick, and others. Its founder, Dhravya Shah, is just 20 and switched from preparing for IIT to building tech in the U.S. and India.

The platform focuses on enabling AI systems to retain, recall, and reason across sessions—keeping context alive beyond traditional short windows. The capital will fuel team growth (ML, backend), R&D, and early integrations with AI/assistant companies seeking to add memory capabilities.

This raise is meaningful both for the founding narrative (young entrepreneur, global investors) and for the technical ambition: memory in AI is a frontier, and startups tackling it may shape the next generation of intelligent assistants.
