> Superhuman valued at $825 million in 2021, $35 million annual revenue

This is nuts! I used Superhuman for about a year. And honestly, I might still be using it if the pricing weren't so off. It had a couple of nice features, and the keyboard-driven approach was a welcome change for mail clients.

But ultimately, Superhuman had nothing that couldn't be replicated in a relatively short amount of time (maybe even with plugins?).

$825 million? Maybe I should start a mail client company...

Zoom was worth around $125 billion at the start of July 2021. It’s now worth about $23 billion.

So by that logic, Superhuman may be worth around $165 million.

More interestingly though, let’s assume they spent the $110 million they raised. That means that each of the ~85k customers they would appear to have based on the estimated revenue cost them about $1300. Though probably more as a proportion of ongoing revenue will obviously be driving sales and retention.

I did see something somewhere saying that they have very high customer retention. That matches my anecdotal experience - I’ve been using it for several years as have several people I referred.

But yeah… an $800m+ valuation? That feels like Covid-era hype.

bang on. It is quite straightforward to replicate the Superhuman experience with a plugin - www.simplehuman.email is one
