Smart Acquisition Strategies (inspired by @patrick_oshag)

Here are 2 of my favorite famous acquisition strategies and 1 you probably haven't seen 🧵:

1) Tinder: Go after the toughest users first
2) Pinterest: Leverage the kingpin
3) A salty restaurateur: Embrace bad reviews

"Bicycle Face" is probably my favorite thing about the newest @a16z podcast episode with @stephsmithio 😂 Brilliant episode. So interesting. Can't wait for more.

[Julia Janks @JanksJulia]

@nilansaha @a16z @stephsmithio hahah It's in the first ~20 mins of the episode with Marc Andreessen!

[Julia Janks @JanksJulia]

@MarethBrian @a16z @stephsmithio Right?! Who knew

[Julia Janks @JanksJulia]

Houses (and yards) are getting smaller, but dog ownership is growing. While dog parks are popular with many owners, an increasing number have reactive or unsocial dogs — with few options to freely exercise them.

@Superisk @HeathrowAirport It was on Tuesday this week

[Julia Janks @JanksJulia]

Had the wildest experience at @HeathrowAirport 🤯

Arrived 4 hours before my flight but still ended up running to catch it because security queues were so long.

At one point the line was so long we were queuing outside the airport building 🥲

[Julia Janks @JanksJulia]

@HeathrowAirport I would definitely recommend arriving at terminal 4 at least 4 hours before your departure. I arrived with plenty of time and spent more than 3 hours in queues.

[Julia Janks @JanksJulia]

Somehow @qatarairways managed to board the flight on time but we ended up waiting 1.5 hours on the tarmac to take off ✈️

I missed my connecting flight in Doha and had to wait 12 hours for the next one.

I knew that post-covid travel would be wild but this was insane 😵

We know that most startups fail, but we might not know why. I interview founders to find out where they went wrong so others don't have to make the same mistakes. Have a failed startup story you're willing to share with me (and @TheHustle)? Let me know:

@AdamRy_n @TwiceTheSpeed might have some good insight here!
