Casey Winters
Co-founder & CEO of SuperMe
Building SuperMe to reimagine how human expertise is indexed and accessed via AI.
Intro
I'm Casey Winters, the Co-founder and CEO of SuperMe. My career has been defined by scaling some of the world's most recognizable platforms, from building the marketing engine at Grubhub to leading growth at Pinterest and serving as CPO at Eventbrite. I've spent years obsessing over how products grow, which led me to co-create several Reforge programs to help the next generation of operators master growth loops and retention. Currently, I'm focused on building an AI-native professional network that cuts through the noise of modern work. I'm passionate about moving beyond 'magic tricks' in AI to build real moats and durable networks. Whether as an investor, advisor, or founder, I'm always looking to connect with people who are solving complex marketplace problems or rethinking how we index human expertise. I love sharing frameworks that help teams move from 'winging it' to building compounding systems.
