Superhuman, a premium email app startup backed by Tiger Global, laid off 22% of its workforce, affecting 23 employees, on June 3, 2022. This reduction comes just a month after the company launched its long-awaited integration with Microsoft Outlook, a move aimed at expanding its user base beyond Gmail. Despite raising $126 million and reaching an $825 million valuation, the company is part of a broader wave of tech layoffs driven by shifting venture capital investment and efforts to control spending. The layoffs raise questions about the immediate impact of the Outlook launch, though Superhuman offered affected staff severance and support services.
