My favourite criticism of @Superhuman. "Ah but high touch onboarding is not scalable". Really? Each rep can do 40 onboardings per week, dropping $14,400 in ARR. With 4 weeks holiday p.a that is $691,200. $691,200 x 150 reps = $103.6M ARR. I rest my case. Scalable.↗

2000 customers @ $39/month is almost $1M/year. If your software can handle 2000 customers, you can worry about scalability once the $1M/year is flowing in. Scalability doesn’t get you cutomers. First have customers, then worry about scalability. The order matters.↗

notes the black swan thread 1 When Taleb was student he was advised to choose a scalable career path. If you’re a doctor, dentist, consultant or message proffessional, there is a limit to the amount of clients you can see in a day AND the amount of money you can make in one day↗
