Tech Crunch: Boutique startup studio super{set} gets another $90 million to co-found data and AI companies
“In some ways, very little has changed since our launch. We remain a venture studio focused on building companies rooted in data and AI. We found, fund and build new technology startups, mostly in the enterprise space,” founding managing partner Tom Chavez told TechCrunch.
What has changed since 2019, however, is the rest of the market; and Chavez sounds vindicated. Building “admittedly boring but bountiful products,” as TechCrunch reported at the time, turned out to be a solid enough bet for super{set} to now double down. In total, it has secured $176 million in funding so far.
