Okay, so here's the new plan for startups: develop your product and execute it to near its full potential, then sell it to someone for $2B. But keep the core technology (just tell them it isn't important and/or you're just licensing it from this other corporation you just happen to own). Continue to collect licensing fees on said core tech. Then, when that person can't put enough time/effort/etc. into it, buy it back from them at 20% of the original price (after they've taken a huge write down of course). Next, raise a ron of VC money cause you're the shit, and then plan to IPO a very small portion of the company. Finally, while you're in the process of doing your IPO, get bought AGAIN, except for $5B this time. /rant
