Learn about the creation of successful tech ventures from the minds behind them

???? EARS TO THE GROUND-

WHAT’S NEXT- Acquired is all about tech companies, how they’re created, and how they get acquired. In each episode, hosts Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal take a deep dive into the history and story of a different company. They explore how it was founded, what made it successful, and what challenges it faced along the way. They frequently interview successful entrepreneurs (like Zoom CEO Eric Yuan) and investors (like Katherine Boyle of Andreessen Horowitz) to discuss the tactics that turn great startups into even greater businesses. The podcast is essential listening for anyone who wants to learn more about the tech industry, whether you're a startup founder looking to sell your company or an investor interested in the latest acquisition trends.

Start with the Pinterest episode (listen, runtime 1:41:02), which examines the world's largest non-social networking site. Ten years after being heralded as the "new Facebook" by investors and the media, Pinterest has proven to be anything but.
