Introducing Supermaven: the fastest coding copilot

Bessemer Venture Partners leads Supermaven’s $12 million seed financing.

Software development is amidst a renaissance. Developers are gaining superpowers.

While some fear AI will replace the developer, it is the opposite. It is dawn for developers. Developers are creatives, technical decision-makers, system architects, and problem solvers. AI models are automating the tedious parts of software development like boilerplate code, repetitive functions, debugging, and testing. This frees developers to do what they do best – apply judgment and creativity.

AI is a force multiplier for developers. This is why we’re proud to lead Supermaven’s $12 million seed financing. Supermaven is building the world where developers and AI work side-by-side for supercharged productivity and better outcomes.

There is no one better suited to build this future than Jacob Jackson, the founder of Supermaven. In 2018, from his college dorm room, Jacob Jackson created TabNine, the first deep learning code completion tool. Later, as an early researcher at OpenAI, he worked on distributed training for large language models. Jacob and his team understand what developers need, how to innovate quickly, and scale impact. That is why earlier this year, Jacob seized the moment and founded Supermaven to turn vision into reality.

Introducing Supermaven

Supermaven is the fastest, most powerful copilot on the market. Its 1m token context window understands your code base and offers the best contextual code completion at lower latency. Supermaven is also the first code completion tool to offer “next location prediction”. The ultra-fast model figures out not only what code to write, but where to write it. The tool can jump to locations in the code to suggest changes based on the context.

Today, Supermaven is also launching its new text editor. Developers can use Supermaven’s end-to-end IDE to build, test, and ship to prod. And the team is only just getting started.

Powering Supermaven’s products is a new neural network architecture. Relative to vanilla transformers, Supermaven’s architectures offers near-perfect recall across long context at tremendous latency and cost. Nearly every keystroke triggers the model, and battle-tested GPU infrastructure—optimized for throughput—powers its performance.

Supermaven is rapidly growing and winning the hearts and minds of developers. Every day, we hear feedback praising Supermaven’s uncanny speed—some developers have told us Supermaven makes them feel like they’re coding at 1,000 words per minute (wpm).    

The Supermaven team ships product at the speed of… well… Supermaven’s own code completion. We’re thrilled to partner with Jacob and team as they rewrite the bounds of possible for the modern developer.

It is dawn for developers.
