A company sold for 3 million is... I mean, in average, I see that the worth is about 1m$ per employee. If you sold for less, your stock performed poorly compared to others. Maybe the product or the engineering was great, but on the wrong market or never met its window. Business is difficult.
The question is, would you have had excellent returns if the company had been worth $1m per employee?
- Cd00d 6y agoI think OP was saying the company 3M bought the startup. Not that the startup was sold for $3mm.
- saalweachter 6y agoIn addition to the $3m/3M confusion, don't forget preferential liquidation. If you own 10% of a company and it sells for 2x the invested value, you might get < 5% of the sale price yourself once the investors are taken care of.
