单集简介 ...

Zoom board member (and general partner at Emergence Capital) Santi Subotovsky joins us to tell the true underdog story behind the hottest IPO of 2019. Together we trace founder Eric Yuan’s incredible journey from immigrant software developer, who didn’t speak any English upon arriving in Silicon Valley in 1997, to Glassdoor’s #1 rated CEO in America in 2018. In an age where border walls have replaced open doors in Washington, and burn rates and privacy scandals have sidelined Silicon Valley’s pretense of making the world a better place, there is no better reminder than Zoom of everything that can be great about our country and our industry.

  • Like a tequila shot or something.

  • Welcome to season four, episode eight of Acquired, the podcast about technology, acquisitions and IPOs.

  • I'm Ben Gilbert.

  • I'm David Rosenthal, and we are your hosts.

  • To introduce our episode today, I want to play you a little clip from Emily Chang on Bloomberg tv.

  • This is from the day of the Zoom ipo, where she interviewed Eric Yuan, the founder and CEO of Zoom.

  • As you can tell from this clip, Eric is incredibly grounded, humble, and quite a different type of Silicon Valley CEO, as we will see when we get into this episode.

  • And that's very exciting, but it's also.

  • A lot of pressure.

  • We've seen some of the recent IPOs.

  • Like Lyft have a lot of volatility.

  • Do you feel that pressure?

  • I do, I do.

  • Because the prices are too high.

  • So.

  • So you think the price is too high?
