Ahh, the founder of a 7-year-old Gmail skin who took a year off of product development to start a venture fund has raised $75 million from the Chainsmokers to build an ‘early version’ of an ‘Outlook-compatible service’ that will be available ‘next year’ https://www.forbes.com/...
Some quick facts on Superhuman, now valued at $825M, per a source: —waitlist of 450K+ —100M messages sent —50%+ of MAU are also DAU —58% of users spend 3+ hours emailing in the app —Outlook, Android support coming by next year https://www.forbes.com/... tip @techmeme
Hey @CaseyNewton, you're a bully. I've been dealing with bullies like you my whole life. So, if you've got a bone to pick with founders and startups, pick on me. You're an unkind, dismissive critic that writes misinformation: Rahul has been working his ass off. https://twitter.co…
I am SUPER excited to share that @Superhuman has raised a $75M series C led by @IVP! 💥 Many angels joined the round including @drewhouston @arashf @timyoung @aplusk @ariannahuff @hdubugras @jasoncitron @TheChainsmokers and Will Smith 😄 More here: https://blog.superhuman.com/ ...
I hate to be annoying VC jumping into this hot take fray, but going on record to say that @Superhuman is magnificent, and @rahulvohra has been nothing but classy in my interactions with him. I celebrate with this talented team have built! https://twitter.com/...
Terrible take. Superhuman is an incredible product. Just because a product seems simple doesn't mean it's not incredibly well built and useful. Superhuman makes me not hate email. It helps me be a better founder. https://twitter.com/...
Man, this tweet is not sitting well with me today. Imagine spending 7 years of your life building a great email client that has survived a graveyard of dead companies who have tried and failed, only to get called lazy by a reporter with 130k+ followers. https://twitter.com/...
Casey: I know you stopped working with editors last year so i figured you could use some help spotting the factual errors in your hot take https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...
This grinds my gears because Casey knows it's bullshit. Rahul didn't take a year off product development to start a venture fund and the $75M round was led by IVP, not the Chainsmokers. Classic media vs. Silicon Valley. https://twitter.com/...
I generally like Casey's POV but hard disagree on this. Superhuman saves me 30+ mins/day vs. Gmail. That's 15 hours/month. Is my time worth more than $2/hr? Easy answer. It's “exclusive” but anyone can use on desktop web. DM me for invites if you spend a lot of time in email. htt…
Congrats to the @Superhuman team. The easiest investment I've ever made & the product I use most in my life. “People will never pay for email” was true until they built the best designed software ever for the category. https://twitter.com/...
Excited to finally announce @superhuman raised a $75m Series C on an $825M valuation, led by @IVP. ‘Be Intentional’ is one of our core values and we were very, very intentional about who and the mechanics of the fundraise.👇🏼 1/5 https://twitter.com/...
🎉 @Superhuman @rahulvohra @conradirwin on this raise led by @ajayvashee @IVP! Superhuman is coming to all users soon (Outlook & Android) and also some exciting new products that can't wait to try out! Insane focus on user delight and each user one by one continues to pay off http…
@alex @alexrkonrad @timyoung wait - so it has 450k on the waitlist, but only 50k (or even lets be generous and say 100k) active users?? what is this — the Bohemian Club waitlist of 20 years??
via the @alexrkonrad piece https://www.forbes.com/... - i figured out why some people are good at email - 58% of superhuman users spend MORE than 3 HOURS per day on it??? https://t.co/yjAvjDOO6e
Superhuman has been really slow about expanding to new platforms but they've certainly built a highly refined product for those who see value in paying for it. https://twitter.com/...
notable that the co is not a unicorn after its $75M raise - in today's market that feels conservative; perhaps it didn't chase a vanity figure. https://twitter.com/...
News: startup Superhuman has raised $75 million ahead of its email app coming to Android and Outlook users. I spoke to CEO @rahulvohra about bringing on investors like @drewhouston, @ariannahuff and @aplusk, and the future of his still waitlist-only app. https://www.forbes.com/..…
