A 20-year-old Indian developer, Dhravya Shah, has raised $2.6 million for his AI startup Supermemory, which aims to build a universal memory layer for AI applications.
As reported by TechCrunch, the seed round was led by Susa Ventures, Browder Capital, and SF1.vc, with participation from prominent tech leaders including Cloudflare CTO Dane Knecht, Google AI chief Jeff Dean, DeepMind’s Logan Kilpatrick, and executives from OpenAI, Meta, and Google.
Supermemory is designed to help AI systems retain and recall context across data sources and sessions. The startup’s API extracts insights from unstructured data — files, chats, projects, emails, and app data streams — to create a personalised knowledge graph for users.
This allows AI apps to fetch and connect relevant information across different timelines or media formats, improving how they handle memory and long-term context.
Shah, originally from Mumbai, built Supermemory after moving to the US to study at Arizona State University, dropping his plan to pursue IIT.
He had earlier created bots and tools for social platforms, including one sold to Hypefury. After a stint as an intern and later developer relations lead at Cloudflare, he decided to turn Supermemory into a full-time venture following advice from industry mentors.
Shah was barely 16 when he started programming and game development. At 18, he is working towards building Radish, an open source alternative to Redis. Shah then told AIM how Radish is different from others such as Valkey, which is basically a fork of Redis.

Supermemory first appeared on GitHub under the name Any Context, where it let users chat with their Twitter bookmarks. It has since evolved into a multimodal platform capable of integrating with Google Drive, OneDrive, Notion, and web browsers via a Chrome extension.
Supermemory’s chatbot and notetaking features enable users to add files, links, or text-based notes that are automatically converted into “memories.”
The company already counts several startups as customers, including AI video editor Montra, AI search engine Scira, real estate tech firm Rets, and a16z-backed desktop assistant Cluely. It is also working with a robotics company to help retain visual data captured by robots.
The young founder said he was once approached by Y Combinator but chose to continue independently since investors were already backing the company. Supermemory’s investors say the demand for AI memory systems will only grow as more applications rely on contextual intelligence to perform complex tasks.
