At just 19 years old, Dhravya Shah from Mumbai has already captured the attention of Silicon Valley’s tech elite. Once focused on cracking the IIT entrance exam, Shah is now the CEO of Supermemory, an AI startup that has raised $3 million in seed funding with backing from senior Google executives like Jeff Dean and Logan Kilpatrick. Supermemory aims to revolutionize how AI models remember and process information over time, addressing a common challenge in the industry.
Shah’s journey began in Mumbai, where his fascination with technology led him to create and sell a Twitter automation tool, providing the financial means to pursue studies in the United States. Opting for innovation over a traditional academic path, Shah embarked on a project-a-week challenge, which eventually birthed Supermemory.
Supermemory offers an AI memory API that enables applications to remember and process data over extended interactions, a capability that many AI systems struggle with. The platform can handle diverse data types, enhancing AI’s ability to understand and personalize user experiences. Its technology is already being utilized by companies like Cluely, Montra, and Scira, and is being explored by robotics firms for visual memory retention.
Recently, Supermemory secured $3 million in seed funding from investors including Susa Ventures, Browder Capital, and SF1.vc, with notable contributions from Google AI chief Jeff Dean and others. Shah’s innovative contributions have also earned him the prestigious O-1 visa, reserved for individuals with extraordinary abilities in their fields.
