Why Superhuman is on an acquisition streak | TWiST 2351Shishir Mehrotra on why the productivity suite bought Rows, GPT Zero, and Fathon, and how Superhuman decides where and when you most need an AI detectorWe tend to have Shishir Mehrotra on TWiST after Superhuman has bought something, and this time, they’ve actually bought three different somethings.

Spoons picks up products that are past their prime and extends their lifespan, Superhuman grabs products that are growing but lacks distribution, then shares them across its much larger platform. Plus Jason’s checking out this very Substack and all of Lon’s hard work, AND we’re rewatching that viral jet-powered Tesla demo. Marketing stunt… or the greatest ever marketing stunt? You make the call.
