Hi all - Ben, one of the podcast hosts here.

A few folks asked us to ungate this Acquired x Gary Tan LP show episode for the YC community so we went ahead and did that.

One fun thing from this episode: I never realized that before Initialized when Garry was a partner at YC, he was designing early homepages for companies in the batch… including HelloSign and GOAT :)

"Postproduction was mostly refining creative choices that we were not able to finalize on the set in a way that we deemed photo-real."

Does anyone know how they were able to swap out the in-camera version of the background originally shown on the LED wall with something more convincing later? Seems like it'd be tough since it's not a green screen!

After hearing about this for awhile and now playing with the product for the first time, I was super pumped to guess (and be right!) that the arrow keys could be used to help navigate sections. Nice touch, guys :)

Yep, agreed. Snap only has 1900 employees.

You'd then take that money and then do anything other than putting it into a high-growth tech company.

Yep, that's one way to hedge :)

I guess the main thing I was getting at is - is there any high-growth tech company that you could start that has more opportunity in a bubble burst?
