Acquired Season 3 Episode 7: Venmo (live with Andrew Kortina)
Manage episode 225427876 series 2313429
Ben & David are joined by special guest and Venmo cofounder Andrew Kortina for our first-ever SF live show! In front of a packed house we chronicle the journey of how two freshman-year roommates from Penn turned a healthy obsession with Craigslist and a fake podcast into an app that facilitated $17B of payments last quarter alone, producing not one but two landmark acquisitions along the way!
Note: the audio quality is a little rough due to some A/V issues at the live show. We apologize!
