Reinventing the Email Experience with Superhuman | The Portfolio | Episode 4

Today on "The Portfolio" is Superhuman... an application that has reinvented how people do their email, and made the process of getting through your inbox twice as fast... and FUN!

In this episode, we dive into all things that make Superhuman so special. We'll take a look inside the product, and share some of my favorite features, and we'll also sit down with Gaurav Vohra, a founding team member and head of growth to learn more about how Superhuman is reinventing email.

Superhuman was founded in 2015, and we (LAUNCH) were among the first investors. Full story on This Week In Startups: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdYGpiRZIgg

In early 2019, Superhuman closed a Series B round of financing led by top tier VC firm Andreessen Horowitz for $33m at a $260m valuation.
