But the business got bought. That's not being not successful.

  If a business gets bought for less than the capital invested, it's not a success.

    It's not a failure. And I'd say those who poured their effort into the company should be entitled to some part of the purchase price, more so than people who's only contribution was money.

      You'd consider turning a $1000 investment into a company worth $500 a success? OK, sure. You can have whatever opinion you want, but you're gonna have a hard time finding other people who see the world the same way you do.

  Generally, if that happens, it got "bought" for less than was invested. That's a rather mediocre outcome.
