Episode summary
We enter the wayback machine and revisit the subject of Acquired’s second ever episode, Facebook’s bombshell 2012 acquisition of Instagram — this time with the help of then-Facebook executive Emily White, who moved over post-acquisition to become Instagram’s first business head. Together with Kevin and Mike, Emily helped build Instagram's business model, which today accounts for nearly 1/4 of all of Facebook’s revenue. Is this still Acquired’s canonical A+ with an extra 3.5 years of hindsight? Spoiler alert: yes.

Indexed context: I cannot believe that even in the late 1800s, like basically what happened was, you know, you read about this in elementary school and history, like the U.S. government, Oklahoma was a unassigned territory, former native lands, and they decided that one day at noon on April 22nd, I think like 1889, they were just going to, anybody who wanted land could come in and claim 160 acres of land.
