Team

We built Huper because we needed it.

The team behind Huper brings more than 50 combined years protecting some of the world’s most important companies and institutions. We led global security companies, built mission-critical systems, and kept hitting the same problem from the inside: no system knew what was actually going on.

“Every leader I’ve ever worked with has the same problem — they spend their best hours chasing status updates instead of actually leading their businesses. We built Huper to fix that. Not another dashboard, not another chatbot. A chief of staff that knows what’s happening across your entire organization and tells you what needs your attention before you have to ask.”

Michael Anton, CEO and co-founder

Investors

Backed by people who have built this before.

Huper closed a $1.5M pre-seed round in February 2026, led by Nadia Partners with participation from Link Ventures and Jim Brown. They bring real experience across enterprise software, cybersecurity and financial services, and have been active thought partners on both the product and the go-to-market.

We’re hiring engineers who want the hard problems.

Small team, Atlanta-based, building the brain that everything else sits on.
