Supernova raises $9.2 million to bring vibe-coding to professional product teams

Supernova launches Supernova Portal, an enterprise-grade vibe-coding platform that vastly accelerates the product development lifecycle, from ideation until final handoff to developers

Trusted by global brands like Air France, KLM, Kraft Heinz, Paramount, and Mozilla, Supernova will use Series A funding to accelerate product development and expand rapidly in the United States and around the world

PRAGUE and NEW YORK, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Supernova, a platform uniting design, code and product to streamline digital teamwork, is announcing Supernova Portal, an enterprise-grade vibe-coding tool that empowers teams across all phases of product development, from ideation to delivery. The company also closed a $9.2 million Series A funding round to expand go-to-market efforts in the United States and across the globe. Portal is built on Supernova's robust design system platform, trusted by hundreds of companies including Air France, KLM, Kraft Heinz, Paramount, and Mozilla to speed up product design and development.

"Product development is too slow and too complex, and it's holding back innovation," said Supernova CEO Jiri Trecak. "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."

Introducing Supernova Portal: AI-powered product development on one platform

For years, product teams have struggled with stretched-thin resources, endless back-and-forth between roles, documentation that drifts out of sync, and the constant challenge of selling ideas to stakeholders. Emerging trends like vibe-coding have offered partial relief, but none have integrated seamlessly into enterprise workflows – until now.

Supernova Portal brings the entire product lifecycle onto one platform and supercharges it with AI. Unlike tools like Lovable and v0 that focus only on rapid prototyping, Portal integrates with enterprise processes and maintains design system consistency from idea to code. With Portal, teams can:

• Transform ideas into complete product packages: Automatically generate PRDs, prototypes, and business cases, all synced to the codebase.
• Keep docs in sync: Update one document and Portal automatically reflects changes everywhere.
• Eliminate busywork with AI agents: Chat with AI agents that can handle manual tasks like updating requirements, syncing documentation, and resolving inconsistencies.
• Maintain standards automatically: Every output aligns with design systems, requirements, and brand guidelines.
• Plug into existing workflows: Portal connects with Figma, GitHub, VSCode, and more to seamlessly integrate with the tools teams already use.

Battle-tested by global brands, built for global scale

Supernova was founded in 2018 by CEO Jiri Trecak and COO Oskar Koristka, who previously built platforms and apps for the U.S. and Australian governments and other global enterprises. Frustrated by disconnected tools and fragmented data, they created Supernova to simplify design-to-code handoffs. Since then, the company has grown into a platform that unites the entire product development process. In 2019, Supernova became the first Czech startup accepted into Y Combinator.

Over the past seven years, Supernova has cultivated a loyal global customer base that includes some of the world's most respected companies. Today, it powers hundreds of enterprise organizations – including Fortune 500 leaders – and has tripled both its user base and revenue in the past year. With its Series A, the company will establish a U.S. headquarters and significantly scale go-to-market operations in the U.S. and across the globe.

"We are proud to work together with Supernova, a company poised to define the future of product development," said David Weng, CEO of Taiwania Capital. "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."

"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," said David Polach, general partner at J&T Ventures. "By automating routine design changes, Supernova frees up engineering teams to focus on high-value work, while scaling both team efficiency and client impact."

"Supernova is doing for product development what Figma did for design: giving teams a single place to collaborate and move fast," said Tomáš Obrtáč, general partner at KAYA VC. "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."

Supernova's Series A is led by Taiwania Capital, known for helping companies expand globally, with participation from J&T Ventures, Reflex Capital, and existing backers Credo Ventures, EQT Ventures, Kaya, Wing VC, and Y Combinator.
