Episode notes

We kick Jason out of the room again because we have our very good long time friends over at Tiny. They've got something new to share with us this season that we've been talking a little bit about kind of from the founder angle but we want to share with you from the VC angleYeah so the core business of Tiny is acquiring wonderful internet businesses these are businesses doing five million or more in revenue at 30 to 40 percent operating margins well and the DNA really comes from Andrew and his partners originally running metal lab. It's funny it's different in a sense but it really is the same tiny playbook that they've always been running to buy a wonderful internet businesses.

We kick off ACQ Sessions with the-behind-the-scenes story of All-in, from the world’s greatest moderator himself Jason Calacanis. ACQ Sessions is our new, occasional “MTV Unplugged” version of Acquired: a great IRL guest, a bottle (or two) of wine, and no script. We talk about everything you’d imagine we would over wine with JCal — All-In, bestie relationships, money & politics in Silicon Valley, who his influences and mentors have been (one surprise — the great Fred Wilson of USV!), what motivates him to keep grinding and why, at age 50+ when he could easily be winding down he’s instead speeding up into the most productive phase of his entire career. Pour a beverage yourself, pull up a comfy seat and join us!
