Episode notes

If you start with a colonel f id an idea that is sufficiently bad for a sufficiently incorrect mark, it could just take too long to ever iterate your way toward whatever th that the ultimate correct enstate is. The challenge then becomes raise enough money and keep morale high enough for long enough so that you actually have the time to make it workup. And i do genuinely believe that if you're a co founder, if you's a ceo, this is your job. You have to run through the brick walls over and over and over again.

Please take the 2019 Acquired Survey. It takes 5-10 minutes, helps us immensely, and you may win a pair of new AirPods or a free 1-year subscription to the LP show! http://acquired.fm/survey

We wrap up Season 4 with a very special (and accidental!) episode, a conversation with the CEO of Superhuman, the red hot email productivity app which just announced their $33m Series B led by Andreessen Horowitz. While originally intended as an LP episode, we felt Superhuman would provide the perfect bookend to our “modern enterprise productivity trilogy” following our Zoom and Slack episodes. We hope you enjoy the conversation with Rahul as much as we did, and we’ll see you later this summer for Season 5!
