01 / belief
“We believe that with Superhuman, there are underlying network effects that will become apparent overtime.”
02 / belief
“I believe Geoffrey Moore in Crossing the Chasm came up with that frame and it's been used many times for that.”
03 / belief
“Although I would say that the wait list is a relatively small funnel into the product.”
04 / evaluation
“You can’t go from being a professional party animal like I was into, “Okay, I'm not going to do 12-hour days again.” It just doesn't work.”
05 / belief
“I realized that in the grand scheme of things, this is going to turn out to be no money whatsoever.”
06 / belief
“I think that’s a little bit of a contrarian thing to bring in a design agency. It’s sort of that early in a startup rather than hiring a designer or doing it inhouse.”
07 / belief
“I think as I introspect this, it came out of some of the frustrations developing Rapportive on Gmail.”
08 / belief
“I think so. I suspect I may just be on the far end of persistence compared to most people.”
09 / prediction
“One of the rules I think we’ve talked about at various points on the show before, all rules and startups inventors were meant to be broken, but you can’t build a big company on the back of somebody else’s platform.”
10 / observation
“Before Superhuman, Rahul was the CEO and co-founder of Rapportive, selling that to LinkedIn in 2012. If you’re noticing a pattern there, I think I definitely am.”
11 / observation
“" Most startups actually orient around the fourth question, the bargain for the money because there's some kind of network effect, or a greenfield effect, or they're trying to take advantage of a first-mover effect, or so on.”
12 / evaluation
“I don’t know, I think I rate okay. But yes, really great products. In addition to that, engineers of all types.”
13 / evaluation
“The story arc is just perfect. It’s kind of a startup where if you do, everybody will cheer you on because they want you to succeed, because it feels like it should be destiny that this thing works.”
14 / prediction
“I think Sam Altman had a slightly different take, which is it's when users love your product so much that they spontaneously tell other people to start using it without you even asking them to do that.”
15 / preference
“In my mind I like to imagine this gigantic flywheel and it’s made up of the most dense material in the universe.”
16 / recommendation
“I think that’s a good sign when you can’t stay away from an idea, it’s a strong indication that you should probably go and do it no matter how bad the idea is.”
17 / commitment
“Every single week we just pick a number of users that we will onboard the following week and that's how we grow.”
18 / commitment
“In any case, I dropped out because I realized that what I wanted to be was an entrepreneur, but I didn’t have an idea at the time what I wanted to pursue.”
