There's something really odd to me about describing a $100MM acquisition as "middling"; wouldn't that almost guarantee multi-million paydays for the founders?

There's something really odd to me about describing a $100MM acquisition as "middling"; wouldn't that almost guarantee multi-million paydays for the founders? Yeah, way below Dropbox's valuation, but still significantly more money than I expect to ever be a party to.

Not necessarily. It depends on how much they raised, since investors get preferred stock.

I said less than $100m. I don't know how much the acquisition was for, but I know it's less than that.
