Superhuman raises $75 Million + Newsletters on Climate & Music

August 11, 2021

Would you pay for more productive email? It seems like investors are all in on the idea of Superhuman's exclusive email service that charges $30 a month if you can get in. Casey Newton had some harsh words about their recent fundraising but it got me thinking if there really is a market for this.

With services like Slack absorbing a lot of business communication and newsletters being emails you look forward to, is email productivity really a necessity?

Plus featured newsletters on climate, music, politics, Canadian business news, hiring for founders and more.

Articles & Tools

Superhuman is now valued at $825 million despite never formally launching or currently offering its email app to Android or Outlook users.
