“*3 Thoughts for Improvement*
1. Do what you love. Interested in hearing about M&A you guys are really passionate about, even if it was an “F,” or lesser known (eg Webvan). It makes a difference in the quality of the episode when you’re caffeinated and can hear the energy you have when you’re genuinely excited.
2. Add a quick recap at the end! B/c sometimes it’s hard to back-trace and say, okay they reached this conclusion, but then reached this other conclusion after debating... so their conclusion was... For eg, ‘In conclusion, we have the [$Xmm] acquisition of [X], that turned out [as a home-run] for acquiring parent [X] b/c it [doubled ent value in a year / gave Disney an animation studio, etc.].’
3. Teach each other about an acquisition for an episode so one of you can ask questions like we listeners would, so we can learn it better vs. sometimes sounding like you’re reading in monotone.
*Separately, Thanks!*
Thanks for helping me learn and asking such great questions like, “can you tell us, what are some of the major differences between a proved seed round and a convertible note and what are the advantages to a company?” — which, just in the question, helps you understand these are two high level types of financings that are pretty different. So helpful!
*Favorite Segments*
— What would have happened to each company without the acquisition?
(E.g. Disney would have been worse off without Pixar, Pixar would have been fine.)
— What type of acquisition was this?
(E.g. Twitch was a wholly separate biz line for Amazon, not just a product acqstn.)
Keep up the great work!”

“Best podcast I've found on IPO's, M&A's, and high level business strategy. For the most part, they keep it on track. Not too much chatter and minimal tangents.”Read full review »

“Acquired has become one of my favorite podcasts. I am now 17 straight episodes in and loving it. The guys have grown as they continue the show and I expect they will continue to improve. Glad to have these insights behind the scenes of the intersection of tech and business. Keep it going and thanks.”
