Supernova, a company focused on improving collaboration between design, code, and product teams, has announced the launch of Supernova Portal, a new enterprise-grade tool designed to streamline the entire product development process. Alongside this launch, the company has secured $9.2 million in Series A funding to support its expansion in the United States and internationally. Taiwania Capital led the Series A round. Other participants include J&T Ventures, Reflex Capital, and existing investors such as Credo Ventures, EQT Ventures, Kaya, Wing VC, and Y Combinator.
This investment signals strong confidence in Supernova’s vision and its potential to transform the way digital products are built and delivered across various industries.
The Supernova Portal is designed to address long-standing challenges faced by product teams, including miscommunication between roles, outdated documentation, and the difficulty of aligning stakeholders around a shared vision.
While newer trends, such as vibe-coding, have helped address some of these issues, most tools have yet to integrate into enterprise workflows fully. Portal changes that by offering a unified platform covering every phase of product development—from initial ideas to final delivery—and enhancing it with artificial intelligence.
Unlike other tools that focus only on rapid prototyping, Portal is designed to work within large organizations and maintain consistency with existing design systems. It can automatically generate product requirement documents, prototypes, and business cases, all of which are linked directly to the codebase. When one document is updated, Portal ensures that all related materials reflect the change instantly.
Teams can also interact with AI agents that handle repetitive tasks, such as syncing documentation and resolving inconsistencies. Every output generated by Portal adheres to brand guidelines and technical standards, and the platform integrates seamlessly with tools like Figma, GitHub, and VS Code.
Founded in 2018 by Jiri Trecak and Oskar Koristka, Supernova was born out of frustration with disconnected tools and fragmented data. The founders had previously built platforms for government and enterprise clients and wanted to create a better way to manage the handoff between design and development. In 2019, Supernova became the first Czech startup accepted into Y Combinator, marking a major step in its growth.
Since then, Supernova has established a strong global customer base, including major brands such as Air France, KLM, Kraft Heinz, Paramount, and Mozilla. The company has tripled its user base and revenue over the past year, now supporting hundreds of enterprise organizations, including several Fortune 500 companies. With the new funding, Supernova plans to establish a U.S. headquarters and expand its global go-to-market operations.
KEY QUOTES:
“Product development is too slow and too complex, and it’s holding back innovation. As an engineer and product leader, I’ve seen firsthand how silos and bottlenecks grind teams to a halt. We’ve spent nearly a decade building an enterprise-grade platform with some of the world’s most trusted companies – unifying design with code and supercharging it with AI – so teams can move from idea to production faster than ever, without abandoning the tools and processes they already rely on.”
Supernova CEO Jiri Trecak
“We are proud to work together with Supernova, a company poised to define the future of product development. Their unique knowledge architecture unifies design systems and code in an AI-powered platform that goes beyond prototyping, revolutionizing the entire product development lifecycle. Our investment is also a strategic partnership to accelerate Supernova’s expansion in Asia.”
David Weng, CEO of Taiwania Capital
“We invested in Supernova because it tackles one of the most painful and costly gaps in product development-design-to-code translation, especially in legacy systems. By automating routine design changes, Supernova frees up engineering teams to focus on high-value work, while scaling both team efficiency and client impact.”
David Polach, general partner at J&T Ventures
“Supernova is doing for product development what Figma did for design: giving teams a single place to collaborate and move fast. The trust of such a significant number of international enterprises proves the strength of their vision. Central and Eastern Europe has a track record of producing founders who pair deep technical expertise with sharp commercial instincts, and Supernova is one of the most exciting examples of that.”
