Acquired

New listener, loved it! Had to start with Taylor Swift! Incredible, but you should update post Eras Tour!!!! The data and the $ has increased!$

While their history of the subject is thorough, they only look at these tech companies/founders as gods and not mortal men with all their fallibilities. Sycophants was an apt description of these 2, they only see through rose colored glasses at their subjects. The speak in such opaque business jargon that it is almost unintelligible. To say that they have "drank the kool-aid" of the tech world is a understatement! Step back boys, you are in too deep.

Great deep dives into interesting technology companies as well as other companies. Along with mergers and acquisitions Ben and David do it all with so much care and research. This podcast introduced me to Venture Capital and the world of business and I am hooked. Only 30 some more episode and I will have binged them all.

Show would vastly improve if the hosts could tone down their hyperbolic and sycophantic rhetoric.
