yes, the relationship worked out really well but a transition of the team definitely makes sense for the reasons stated above. Investors are reluctant to invest in a company that is based around a technical product (the platform) but has no dev team and CTO in-house... > Have they considered acquiring the (tech) company? Is the startup the only customer of tech company? Where's the startup headquartered? Well, not really but would be a possibility. But the tech company has significant business besides the startup. The startup is one "venture" of the tech company. Company size of tech company is ~45 FTEs and revenue is a few millions (besides startup). Startup is headquartered in central europe.
