And the...

The a16z Show
How Superhuman Took Over Silicon Valley Email

The thing that was really going for me with email is, and every VC knows this, because every VC is drowning in email, it is just this absolutely ginormous market.

The a16z Show

And my pitch basically boiled down to, I bet you this is the biggest market you will see for the next four weeks in your Monday morning partnership pitches.

The a16z Show

And let me show you the math.

The a16z Show

We have a billion professionals on average.

The a16z Show

This is still the average number.

The a16z Show

We spend three hours a day reading and writing email.

The a16z Show

That's three billion hours every single day that go into reading and writing an email.

The a16z Show

That's north of a trillion hours a year.

that go into reading and writing email.

And yet, before Superhuman, we still had only a one size fits all solution, which was Gmail and Outlook.

And by the way, those things are nearly free and they don't solve the problem for the people who do the most email.

The a16z Show

You find a more dislocated market than that.

And this is just the start of what we're trying to build.

The a16z Show
How Superhuman Took Over Silicon Valley Email

We're actually building the productivity and collaboration suite of choice.

The a16z Show

Email, it turns out, is the best place to start because of all of these things.

The a16z Show
How Superhuman Took Over Silicon Valley Email

It's the most open ecosystem.

The a16z Show
How Superhuman Took Over Silicon Valley Email

You can literally, even at a Fortune 500, just bring your own email clients and there you are, you're past security.

The a16z Show

So we can use that as a way to grow and expand.

And so that's a lot more of a strategic pitch.
