This theory seems to assume that the startup founders have no say in being "talent acquired" by the big corporation.
Being angry at Apple or Twitter for buying a company and shutting down their operations seems misplaced - why not be angry at the founders that agreed to do this?
- tsunamifury 15y agoImportant note: If you are a founder who has taken venture capital, you may not have a real choice in the matter.
- brown9-2 15y agoI am curious though how often the other shareholders are able to force the founders into a sale against their will. Is this common / documented? Seems doubtful that a Big Co would go into a talent acquisition if the talent wasn't on board.
- ImprovedSilence 15y agoIt really depends on who owns how much stock. And if you the founder are disgruntled or not, if you sell, you may have to work for them for a year to get your money. Life's tough when you sell you soul to a VC.
