I think you’re right that Superhuman is a luxury product. The luxury segment is pretty underexplored in software.

LVMH’s market cap is north of 300B.

There’s plenty of scale in the price insensitive audience!

LVMH is a huge conglomerate of brands. I would argue that most of these brands are in fact not targeting the "price-insensitive" demographic, but those buying "premium goods", which isn't quite the same.

If you did a revenue breakdown, you'd probably see that the bulk doesn't come from Louis Vuitton purses, but rather from products that the middle class can afford - similar to Apple.
