Great.
One take feels good.
Welcome to Season four, Episode ten, the finale of Acquired the podcast about technology, acquisitions and IPOs.
I'm Ben Gilbert, I'm David Rosenthal and we are your hosts.
Today we are covering Superhuman, the fastest email experience ever made.
This show was originally going to be a limited partner bonus show with Superhuman CEO Rahul Vora on understanding his algorithmic approach to find product market fit.
But we realized that Superhuman was a perfect way to round out our trilogy on the modern productivity stack on the heels of our Zoom and Slack IPO episodes.
And we learned that the timing would be perfect with some big news that just dropped for Superhuman.
Indeed.
Well, they just raised their $33 million Series B funding led by Andreessen Horowitz on the heels of some very rapid growth, as you'll hear.
If you want to read more about the company after this episode, you can click the link in the show notes for the New York Times article that broke the news.
Okay listeners, now is a great time to tell you about longtime friend of the show ServiceNow.
Yes, as you know, ServiceNow is the AI platform for business transformation and they have some new news to share.
ServiceNow is introducing AI agents.
So only the ServiceNow platform puts AI agents to work across every corner of your business?
Yep.
And as you know from listening to us all year, ServiceNow is pretty remarkable about embracing the latest AI developments and building them into products for their customers.
AI agents are the next phase of this.
So what are AI agents?
AI agents can think, learn, solve problems and make decisions autonomously.
