Superblocks is an enterprise software platform that lets companies rapidly build, deploy, and govern AI-powered internal applications across data, workflows, and integrations. Pulse 2.0 interviewed Superblocks founder and CEO Brad Menezes to gain a deeper understanding of the company.
Brad Menezes’ Background
Could you tell me more about your background? Menezes said:
“I cold-emailed my way into Yelp and landed a job on their product team just after their IPO. That experience changed everything. I got to work closely with Jeremy Stoppelman the founder & CEO who was part of the PayPal mafia and his manager prior to starting Yelp was Elon Musk.”
“After Yelp, I teamed up with my high school friend Ran Ma to launch our first startup. We got into Y Combinator with backing from Sam Altman, but it ultimately didn’t work out — we didn’t have the deep industry edge needed to win.”
“I then joined Datadog, leading their second product, Application Performance Monitoring, from zero to $100M in ARR in four years. It was during this time I got the inspiration for Superblocks.”
Formation Of The Company
How did the idea for the company come together? Menezes shared:
“When I was at Datadog, what really stood out was how many Fortune 100s were using it to monitor their internal tools, things like onboarding systems, finance dashboards, support ops. These weren’t just side projects, they were mission-critical, and yet no one really talked about them.”
“That was the spark for Superblocks. My co-founder Ran Ma and I saw this huge, overlooked opportunity in internal software. And now with AI, we’re at a tipping point: ops, finance, and business teams can become builders themselves. Our vision is to give every domain expert the ability to safely build the same mission-critical software once bottlenecked on engineering.”
Favorite Memory
What has been your favorite memory working for the company so far? Menezes reflected:
“Without a doubt, it’s been launching Clark. It was our first major public moment as a company, and it marked the beginning of something much bigger than a product release. It was the culmination of months of heads-down building, late nights, and constant iteration alongside our customers.”
“The response so far has blown me away: over 7,000 companies joined the waitlist, we saw 2M+ likes across launch socials, and we lit up both NASDAQ and NYSE. But beyond the numbers, it was the energy across the team that stood out the most. You could feel the momentum shift—like we had tapped into something real and urgent in the market. Everyone’s locked in right now because we all know this is a rare opportunity where we can define the future of AI app development for enterprise.”
Core Products
What are the company’s core products and features? Menezes explained:
“Superblocks is the leading internal app platform for the enterprise. We recently launched Clark, the first AI agent purpose-built to generate secure internal applications from natural language prompts. Think: Lovable, Bolt, or v0, but built for enterprise back-office apps with native support for SSO, RBAC, audit logging, integrations, and more.”
“What makes Superblocks powerful is the full-stack experience. You can generate apps with AI using Clark, refine them visually with drag-and-drop components in the Superblocks Editor, and extend them infinitely in React using your preferred IDE (Cursor, Windsurf, or VSCode). These three development modalities give teams flexibility: non-engineers can now build safely, while engineering and IT stay in the loop to ensure everything meets enterprise standards.”
Challenges Faced
Have you faced any challenges in your sector of work recently? Menezes acknowledged:
“Absolutely. One of the biggest challenges we’re tackling is the explosion of AI tools leading to shadow IT inside enterprises (e.g. tools spinning up quickly without IT oversight, risking security and compliance). We saw that early and made a bold bet: build governance into the foundation of AI-powered development. That’s why we created Clark, our AI agent for internal enterprise apps, designed to be secure, scalable, and fully governed from day one. It’s helping enterprises unlock AI safely, without sacrificing control.”
Evolution Of The Company’s Technology
How has the company’s technology evolved since launching? Menezes noted:
“Our goal in the beginning was simple: help developers build internal software faster. But with the rise of AI, we realized it was about more than just development speed, it was about unlocking a new class of builders across the enterprise: IT, data teams, ops, even business domain experts.”
“That insight led us to build Clark, the first AI agent for internal enterprise apps. Clark turns natural language into full-stack apps with fully extensible React code under the hood—secure, scalable, and governed from day one. With Clark, we’re empowering every employee to build the tools they need under full IT control.”
Significant Milestones
What have been some of the company’s most significant milestones? Menezes cited:
“Raising $60 million to bring Clark to every employee. The response thus far has been astounding: 7,000+ companies have signed up for the waitlist including leaders across the F500 in Financial Services, Healthcare, Manufacturing, and Transportation. We are unlocking capacity as quickly as we can.”
Customer Success Stories
Can you share any specific customer success stories? Menezes highlighted:
“Superblocks is driving value at thousands of leading enterprises across healthcare, finance, retail, and more. For example: At Third Bridge, a global investment research firm, teams accelerated frontend development by 10x. Cvent, an event management company by Blackstone, enabled junior engineers to build apps that previously required senior-level expertise. And at Synapse Health, a medical equipment leader, Superblocks is able to replace the work of 5–7 engineers.”
Funding/Revenue
Are you able to discuss funding and/or revenue metrics? Menezes revealed:
“We’ve raised $60 million in total funding. Our investors include Kleiner Perkins, Spark Capital, Greenoaks, and Meritech Capital, along with incredible tech leaders like Aaron Levie (CEO of Box) and Aneel Bhusri (Founder of Workday). We’ve been really intentional about partnering with folks who understand both enterprise software and the shift happening with AI right now.”
Total Addressable Market
What total addressable market (TAM) size is the company pursuing? Menezes assessed:
“We’re in a massive, growing market, with internal software consuming over 30% of enterprise engineering capacity today. With AI, that number will 10-100x as more non-technical employees can start safely contributing to internal app development.”
Differentiation From The Competition
What differentiates the company from its competition? Menezes affirmed:
“A lot of AI tools out there are optimized for speed or quick prototypes, but they fall apart when you try to scale them to production. What makes Superblocks different is that we’re built for the production-grade enterprise apps from day one.”
“Apps are generated with AI in Superblocks and follow existing enterprise standards like SSO, RBAC, audit logging, secure VPC deployments, etc. And under the hood, it’s fully-open React code so your engineering team can easily modify and extend apps in their preferred IDE.”
Future Company Goals
What are some of the company’s future goals? Menezes concluded:
“We’re currently focused on scaling adoption of Clark across the enterprise, deepening integrations with major systems like Databricks and AWS, and expanding our partner ecosystem. We’ll also continue to grow the team to meet rising customer demand.”
