Supernova Raises $9.2 Million Series A Round to Define the Future of Product Development

Supernova, an AI-powered collaborative workspace for product teams to explore, prototype, write, and align with stakeholders, led by Oskar Koristka and Jiri Trecak, has secured $9.2 million Series A round, led by Taiwania Capital and joined by J&T Ventures, Reflex Capital, KayaVC, with existing investors and Y Combinator also participating in this round.

A decade ago, nearly all work on product teams was manual. Five years ago, some teams began experimenting with smarter workflows, though it still felt like a distant goal. Today, that vision has become reality, with levels of automation in product development surpassing even the most optimistic expectations.

After years of frustration with the constant back-and-forth between designers, developers, and PMs, coupled with mundane daily tasks, the industry now has the opportunity to focus on what truly matters, allowing teams to excel in their craft and channel creative energy into building exceptional products. The time is ripe to deliver on this promise.

Launched in 2018 to simplify design-to-code handoffs, Supernova initially helped solo creators translate designs into code efficiently. Early feedback revealed that accelerating a single step wasn’t enough; teams needed all design, code, and product data in one place to maintain brand consistency, leverage existing code, and integrate with complex workflows.

Rebuilt as a design systems platform, Supernova now serves as a central hub where design, code, and product data stay in sync, supporting both new and established projects. Today, leading companies like Paramount, Mozilla, and Skyscanner use Supernova to stay aligned, build on existing foundations, and focus on creating without being bogged down by repetitive tasks.

After seven years of development, Supernova is launching Supernova Portal, enabling professional teams to move from idea to delivery without friction, keeping design systems as the single source of truth. The platform leverages AI to refine concepts, generate prototypes, provide developer specifications, and create actionable tickets, all while maintaining brand consistency and workflow integrity. By unifying design, code, and data, Supernova Portal allows individuals to work like full teams and teams to operate at unprecedented speed, making product creation fluid, cohesive, and bottleneck-free.
