44: Rahul Vohra, Founder and CEO of Superhuman

Workplace communication predictions over the last 5 years has been dominated by the rise of chat apps like Slack and email ostensibly becoming eliminated. Yet email lives and thrives today - according to Radicati, nearly 300 billion emails are sent and received every day.

Superhuman has gotten the attention of Silicon Valley’s most prominent and the levels of virality in this product mirror Slack and Dropbox in the early days. It was a pleasure to have Rahul Vohra, Founder and CEO this week; Rahul has raised $40M+ and is using that resource base to drive his uniquely quantitative perspective on evaluating product market fit - a topic we spent much of the discussion on. He also shared his perspective as to what holds for the future of email, why the enterprise will pay for products that have historically been free, and why he and his team are so well placed to compete with free from the 800 pound gorilla of email, Google.
