Verbatim, from the transcripts: the passages where Calm comes up
ACQ Sessions: Jason Calacanis · Acquired
- ▶ 1:19:35 Jason Calacanis Um, and so he taught me how to do syndicates, and the first one I did was calm at four or five million dollars.
- ▶ 1:19:50 Ben Gilbert Because, like, obviously Uber is some ridiculous multiple on a return, um, but then there's these other ones that are, like, promising, but early, and then there's other ones where it's been a less than Uber multiple, but still a good Uber…
- ▶ 1:20:26 Jason Calacanis I could even cry, like, telling the story, but, um, Alex, Stu, and I became very good friends, and Michael Acton, you know, afterwards, um, because he wasn't actively running comm while Alex was.
- ▶ 1:21:11 Jason Calacanis And we probably, Calm would not be here.
- ▶ 1:21:28 Ben Gilbert But like, but for Jason Calacanis, Colin did not.
- ▶ 1:24:44 Jason Calacanis So if you were to look at something like Calm or Robinhood, okay, they're the best looking app with the best UX of all of, of anybody in the category, right?
- ▶ 1:24:53 Jason Calacanis So Calm was better than Headspace, Robinhood was better than E-Trade, I mean, it just doesn't take our rocket science to look at them.
- ▶ 2:07:31 David Rosenthal I mean, like, wait, your story about comm is not uncommon, I think, amongst founders.
