When we announced Superhuman as our new company name, we knew it signaled the start of a larger refounding moment.

Bringing together the teams and cultures of Grammarly, Coda, and Superhuman Mail gave us a sharper mission and a renewed sense of purpose. It also created a rare opportunity to redefine the core tenets of our company. To move forward with clarity, we needed a shared understanding of who we are now and what we are working toward together.

Values give us that direction. They guide us through complexity, help us navigate tradeoffs, and signal to future teammates what matters most. Refreshing them now ensures we can work, build, and grow as one Superhuman.

Defining our identity

We approached this work with intention, knowing that defining values means defining who we are at our core.

We began by listening across the company to explore what makes us distinct, what we want to preserve, and what we want to evolve. Conversations across teams, insights from leaders, and the perspectives of our newly combined organization helped us form a clear, honest picture of the culture we are building together. Above all, we wanted values that reflect who we are now and who we are becoming.

The result is a set of six values that capture our identity with clarity and momentum. Some are rooted in our origins, and others are unique to our new company. Together, they define how we show up and how we win.

The values that guide us

These values express who we are at our core and the standards we hold ourselves to as we build what comes next. They capture what we believe and how we choose to work together, creating a shared foundation for every decision, collaboration, and product we bring into the world.

(Super) Human-Centered

We believe AI should amplify human potential. People are at the heart of our work, and we strive to deeply understand their needs.

• We use AI to elevate humans, enabling them to unlock their superhuman potential.
• We watch our business outcomes carefully, but we measure our true success by the value we deliver to our users.
• We build with empathy, keeping our users’ voices, feedback, and needs at the center of how we design and develop.

Win with Grit

We pursue bold ideas with perseverance and accountability. We roll up our sleeves to tackle tough problems and deliver results.

• We take ownership of our target outcomes and hold ourselves accountable for delivering them.
• We stay with problems through the messy middle to see them through.
• We relentlessly pursue the hard work below the surface to deliver elegant experiences for our users and teammates.

Craft Remarkable Delight

We craft products and experiences so delightful that people are compelled to remark on them. We turn the functional into the unforgettable, making every interaction feel effortless and joyful.

• We design with empathy, making every experience feel human, intuitive, and full of joy.
• We focus on simplicity, removing friction so ease and delight shine through.
• We value exceptional craftspeople who make every product, message, and moment extraordinary.

Think from First Principles

We challenge the familiar, reframe problems from the ground up, and build solutions that are distinct, simple, and extraordinary. We cut through assumptions to reveal the truths that matter most.

• We question assumptions, bravely pushing beyond the familiar when it leads to the extraordinary.
• We frame problems clearly and uncover the eigenquestion that leads to sharper solutions.
• We make decisions with clear reasoning and highlight single decisive reasons where possible.

Grow Ideas from Anywhere

We ask with curiosity and listen with openness, creating space for every voice and perspective so great ideas can grow into their best form.

• We create space so ideas are not limited to the loudest voices.
• We seek context and ideas from customers, partners, and colleagues.
• We give ideas time to grow, so we listen first and help strengthen them before we evaluate.

Prioritize the Pond

We prioritize the collective good. We act like owners, making decisions that strengthen the whole and measuring success by the health of the pond, not just the size of the fish.

• We operate with the mindset that individual success comes from helping others succeed.
• We make every decision as though we each own the company, doing what is best for Superhuman.
• We empower employees with the information they need to act as owners.

Where we're headed next

Going forward, we will embed these values into how we operate every day. They will inform how we hire and onboard, how we set goals and make decisions, and how teams plan, reflect, and collaborate. They will also shape our rituals, our feedback practices, and how we recognize great work across the company.

These values ultimately reinforce the outcomes we aim to create. Human-centered products. Remarkable experiences. Thoughtful decisions. A culture rooted in ownership, craft, and clarity. With these values, we are building a company designed to elevate human potential in ways that last.

This is a new chapter filled with possibilities, grounded in our history, and powered by the future we are building together.
