He explained why-- he got the feeling that the professionals are trying to sell him a bill of goods, perhaps independently of an actual need, so he's coming here for a second opinion.
- ryanwaggoner 16y agoNo, he said that they were being courted by attorneys and bankers who want the business. I understand why you wouldn't want to just take the first person who calls you. But he also asked if they should involve their attorney, which implies to me that they have one (they'd have to, right?). It just blows my mind that they're considering accepting an offer for possibly tens of millions and they haven't asked their attorney about it? That's insane.
- jacquesm 16y agoFully agreed, I also completely fail to understand how they got this far without a set of good advisors.
- dschobel 16y agoEither they do have a good set of advisors and they're just being thorough by asking HN (free advice from smart people, what's not to like?) or you have a new datapoint about the necessity of advisors.
- founder001 16y agoWe've received plenty of advice from advisors, but I wanted to get a perspective from someone who'd been exactly in our shoes before - not from the guys that helped them through it.
