Superset is now Paradev, raises $11.5M seed

Led by Union Square Ventures. Our story, why we picked the name, and what's next.

All three founders were previously CTOs at YC companies. We saw that coding was changing rapidly with agents, so we built the first version of Paradev at a hackathon. Immediately after launching in January, many of our friends switched from their favorite IDEs and used Paradev 8-12 hours a day.

In less than a year, hundreds of thousands of developers in 180 countries and one in eight Fortune 500 companies have used Paradev.

Our old name was shared by many existing products and companies, so we had been looking for a name we can build an enduring company on.

Lawyers have paralegals, doctors have paramedics, and developers have paradevs. A parallel dev (or paradev) has hundreds of agents working in parallel, solving issues for her as soon as they come up. Sound familiar?

Our mission is to build the future of coding with agents: a world where software can improve itself. To accelerate that mission, we raised $11.5M, led by Union Square Ventures, alongside the best investors and founders in the world.

Paradev is the best way to write software with agents in 2026. We're used at one in eight Fortune 500 companies. Our best innovations are still ahead of us. We will keep innovating for our customers, to turn every developer into the most capable version of themselves.

The future of coding is not just parallelization, but also collaboration and self-learning. More to come!

We're building a flat and talent-dense team, and we're looking for people who have crazy ideas and are crazy enough to ship them. See the open roles at paradev.com/careers, or write to founders@paradev.com.

To all those who believed, and helped us along the way, thank you. Welcome to the next phase of the journey.
