Not only an amazing founder but experienced, technical, and business savvy. He's worked both as an investor and as a CEO so his advice is truly well rounded. Bravo EO on providing us with some great advice!
One of the best videos by EO. So insightful & helpful with practical tips, thank you Rahul for the tips & not just selling the product as so many founders do.
As an ongoing reader of Hacking Growth by Sean Ellis and Morgan Brown, I can relate to everything he said in this video about analyzing and experimenting in order to achieve PMF. Thank you EO, Sean Ellis, Morgan Brown, and Rahul Vohra.
@@ytwow1233 Hi. I run a custom AI software development agency. We have a platform that allows you to build unique ai workflows and experiences. Some of our best performing products : - Clynetele: An autonomous ai agent capable of lead generation and enrichment, writing personalised emails to a company’s mailing list. - A real estate AI agent that scans the house and communicates on behalf of the landlord. Escalates emergencies. Has tutorials. - A therapist Ai chatbot, delivering therapy as an app for a start up client. Customer service chatbots are our base line product.
So basically what people have been saying for a long time. Vagueness is always the answer with these folks and these valuations are always out to lunch. We need to stop using funding rounds as what a company is worth and go back to the days of actual profit/revenue/losses.
His company does not “compete” with Gmail or Outlook as the video description says. They make API calls to access your GMail and Outlook and have a faster and intuitive user interface.
Nice one @EO. We just accidentally made a video about superhuman last week but the tool and not the story behind it. I like the deep dive and how this product came to life 🙌🙏
Are you selling our data? I’m a customer. How could your value be almost a billion for an email software? Serious question. I don’t get it. We pay $30 a month and there’s no guarantee we will continue using it. Thank you!
Hires Branson to growth hack the company, says ai ‘tis trend. Then stacks his subjective numbers for A16 when we’re all looking at an iPhone. “After changing the market”
Email is not „free“ unless it costs you time. This is what superhuman gives back to you. I am a user myself, just made a video about it since it’s pretty crazy to pay for an email tool in 2024. but it’s true: it saves so much time when you have a lot or emails to work through
Let me just say this …. In the real world of UK startups if you don’t go to Oxford, Cambridge, or have a high net worth network the probability to get funding in less than 5% … within 2 mins of this guy pitching ..i networked I’m Cambridge..most founders don’t have that opportunity.. underrepresented founders have it 10000% harder… and you don’t see some of their great innovations come to fruition… this guy is cheesy As hell..
Just find new ways to create your own added value that could be really and radically obvious, undoubted, evidently rare and be strong and hardly robust in front of any waves of difficulties. Your present is perhaps a little bit harder and less easier than others but furthermore, you shouldn't never take your bad times and turn it into excuses but in great times by the strength of optimism, resilience, keep going, growing, learning, applying. It would be your time if you want it and dream it !!!
Plenty of excuse to not succeed. Plenty. And easy to find too. You know what else? Plenty of people from Cambridge without a multi-million dollar business too. How many of the people in that room at 2:10 do you think have a multi-million dollar business today? Dude wrote code for a product he was building for 2 fucking years straight. Cambridge be damned.

This is how a founder should be.
He is perfect.
Thank you for the talk Rahul

One of the best videos by EO.

This is one of the best advice I have ever had. Thank you, Rahul; you nailed it!
Thanks!
Probably the best channel on YT on tech startups

Similarly I’ve built an AI capable of writing 10,000 personalised emails a month. Clients already using this for 10k per year.
Sounds original 😂
Give us some more infos about your start-up, please! :)

One of the best videos in the channel, very useful 👏🏻👏🏻
Some key takeaways from this video for founders:
Make something people want.
Make people realize they want it.

MVP = Minimally Valuable Product, well said!
PS: Great dancer he is I think 😅
Thanks I was thinking along the lines of Most Valuable Player

I’ve never understood the value of superhuman. It never felt faster to me than Gmail. Where should it be fast and why does it matter?
Incredible story as always.
Also, Rahul is one video away from sounding like a fashion designer
This is probably the most important content I consume today.
The best podcast I ever watched!
When most are blind to common sense there are a few who make it easy for others to see. Thanks.
High value content right here.
This is such a good video. I’ll definitely be using this guidance going forward

Jensen Huang wants his leather jacket back Rahul.

Great question
I may be completely wrong here… but I was under the impression tech valuation is can be anywhere between 3-10x revenue based on potential.
This guy gives me Tom Ford vibes.
Please do a video tutorial on how to become as smug as you are.
He doesn’t owe you shit my man. Why do people on the internet act like you them shit?
Exce//ent

“After changing the market”
I just watched the whole video just to hear the " make people want what you make" 🙄
22mn yearly revenue….825mn company. Ok.
You look like an Indian Fonzy can you punch a jukebox please then say aaahey
How does his company actually make any money? Is it just yet another useless ad machine - because last I looked email is generally free.
Email is not „free“ unless it costs you time. This is what superhuman gives back to you. I am a user myself, just made a video about it since it’s pretty crazy to pay for an email tool in 2024. but it’s true: it saves so much time when you have a lot or emails to work through
who use superhuman? i think it is useless
overpriced bs software- spark does everything and more for a 10th of the price
