How Did LinkedIn Go About Acquiring Rapportive

at 8:42

From the episode: Superhuman Ceo Rahul Vohra

Linkedin initially approached Rahul with a request to stop using a third-party API to acquire their data, and as an entrepreneur would, Rahul requested they gave him direct access instead.

There were only ~20 companies using this secret Linkedin API and Rapportive was now one of them. It all started as a business development conversation, and eventually turned into an acquisition.
