There is still no guarantee that they won't get acquired and fuck the product up in the end.

- TeMPOraL 10y agoSadly, there's never a guarantee. But it doesn't seem like they're looking for an exit strategy, which is reassuring.
- electic 10y agoHow do you know they are not looking for an exit strategy? They have stopped aggressively hiring and buying startups. Their new product launches and innovation has been minimal. Their market is largely commoditized. Secondly, they have raised a ton of VC cash and those VCs are looking for an exit. So keep the company cash flow positive makes it look very attractive for larger companies and especially PE firms.
- pm90 10y agoFrom what I've heard, they have been more focused on selling to Enterprises...as they should. There are only so many people who can be paid customers; Enterprises provide a much more predictable (and larger) stream of revenue.
- icebraining 10y agoEither that, or they're trying to prop up the price before accepting an offer :)
- toomuchtodo 10y agoEveryone is always looking for an exit strategy. You won't know until the right price comes along though.
