Konsus was founded by Fredrik Thomassen and Sondre Rasch in August 2015, and got accepted into Y Combinator startup incubator in January 2016. The company is based in Oslo and Palo Alto, but hires low-cost talent internationally.[1][2]

In August 2016, Konsus raised $1.5M funding led by Sam Altman and Slack Fund.[3] An additional $3.5 million was raised in 2019.[4] The company also announced a change of name from Konsus to Superside. [5]
