GTMN - E6 - Adobe Buys Semrush for $1.9B, Alembic's $145M "Causal AI", Taco Bell Ultra

In the sixth episode of GTMN, hosts Pranav and Austin react to the massive news that Adobe has acquired Semrush for $1.9B to bolster its marketing analytics suite. They debate whether this is a "good acquisition" or if legacy players like Adobe can even compete with new AI tools.

The conversation covers "On" Running's bold decision to skip Black Friday sales, opting for brand integrity over discounts. They also dive into Alembic's $145M Series B led by Accenture to bring "Causal AI" to the enterprise, and debate if "services are sexy again" in the age of AI. Finally, Austin shares his plans to run a "Taco Bell 50K Ultra" marathon, and they discuss Ed Gento's $40M raise to fix influencer marketing with AI.
