I would love to hear people's opinions on what was the best acquisition for each of these companies...and perhaps the worst too.
- opportune 7y agoI think YouTube and Instagram have probably been the best so far. LinkedIn is also very strong but because it was sold for such a high price it can’t 100x the way YouTube and Instagram likely have
- nostrademons 7y agoAndroid was also pretty key for Google.
- richardwhiuk 7y agoMicrosofts acquisition of LinkedIn seems the most dubious.
- opportune 7y agoLinkedIn makes a lot of money, $5.3b in 2018, and is growing rapidly. It’s also by far the best product in its class
- maximusjesse 7y agoI was originally skeptical about Amazon's Twitch acquisition. However, in recent years, they've seem to integrate the product fairly well into their ecosystem. I feel for an acquisition less than $1b, Twitch is a steal in hindsight. Not sure how much money Twitch makes, but the ecosystem and users only seems to be growing.
- dumbfoundded 7y agoWell the Next acquisition brought back Jobs
