You might consider how you connected with the acquirer. Did they find you? Were you shopping your project to buyers? Are they the only game in town, considering what your project offers?
It sounds like you're not excited by the deal. If you can sustain the status quo for a while more, I'd advise you to ask for more than you really want and be ready to walk away.
- HNadvice 6y agoThank you for your reply. The acquirer found me when they were searching for companies that offer this particular niche of data they have small amounts of. I am not the only game in town and companies in this industry have varying amounts of this niche data. I was excited to hear from their CEO and flattered to receive an offer but lost some of the excitement when that offer came $25K less than what I make now. If I hadn't heard from the acquirer, I would just continue my full-time job until I go on paternity leave in a couple months.
