The Best One Yet - 🤓 “Ivy League-ish” — Harvard’s profit puppy. eBay’s all-time-high. Trickle Down AI-nomics. IBO = Initial Baby Offering.

Harvard’s biggest profit puppy? Executive Education… They’re stretching the Crimson to earn some cash.

eBay stock is (shockingly) at an all-time high… Because eBay now tracks “enthusiasm” as an official metric.

Microsoft is spending $120 billion this year on AI servers… with that $ it could buy all 30 NBA teams.

Plus, we’ve got an IBO announcement… an Initial Baby Offering.

The Best One Yet - 🐲 Pokémon: The Little Monsters that Played Their Cards Right

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet here: https://wondery.com/links/the-best-idea-yet/

What do you get when you mix a passion for collecting bugs with an obsession for video games? For Satoshi Tajiri, the answer is the world's largest media franchise (over $92 billion revenue — more than Star Wars and Harry Potter combined). Tajiri dreamed up a new kind of video game: one built not just on battling monsters, but trading them. What followed was a full-blown cultural takeover with TV shows, trading cards (global market value $6 billion), more video games, and so much merch. Find out how Pikachu got his spark, why there was fierce debate over America’s cuteness threshold, how Pokémon Go took over your smartphone — and why Pokémon (our MOST requested episode to date) is the best idea yet.

Subscribe to The Best Idea Yet for the untold origin stories of the products you’re obsessed with — and the bold risk takers who made them go viral.

Uggs’ sales are surging thanks to men… And it’s not the only brand pulling off a gender pivot.

Novo Nordisk stock is down 65%... because “inventing” something doesn’t mean “winning” it.

The Federal Reserve made its interest rate decision… no change. We explain the Debbie Downer decision.

Reese’s & Oreos just teamed up despite being rivals… Enemies with benefits

The biggest deal of 2025? An $85B railroad deal… but it’s actually the 1st transcontinental train.

Fashion brand Quince hit $4.5B for cashmere & caviar… but it’s really America’s Shein.
