Yeah, all I can say is "ouch." I went through a very similar courtship process with a large tech unicorn and luckily my outcome was good, but halfway through the process I basically had to ask them to give me 5 figures in legal fees because I was paying a huge bill to attorneys and the power dynamics between single person startup and unicorn are huge. They were spending 6 figures on attorney fees and I was spending a smaller multiple, but as a single person startup. I hope he got good advice, because this sounds really bad. HIBP is an amazing resource, and should easily command an 8-9 figure exit for the founder. It's disappointing to learn that the one suitor he settled on ended up being a dud.
