Certainly that's right, in the archetypal beating-the-odds startup situation. If you're a YC company, stop reading. But isn't it different for acquisitions done to integrate with an existing platform or are T&T (talent and technology) exits? Call them the "let's see if this works" offer. Yeah, I know, not the investor's desired scenario, but not so bad for founders, especially bootstrappers. There seem to be a lot more of those deals out there which would be attractive for young entrepreneurs. And frankly, it might make sense based on that to try to use popular technology in clever ways. Honestly, it's not that exciting to discuss. But if you don't have explosive growth, well, it's something you think about.
