Thanks: @alexrkonrad Tweets: Casey Newton / @caseynewton : 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/... Alex Konrad / @alexrkonrad : 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 Kia K. / @imkialikethecar : @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?? Martin Sfp Bryant / @martinsfp : 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/... @alex : 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/... Alex Konrad / @alexrkonrad : 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/... Thanks: @alexrkonrad
