Here is a suggestion for those who build a statup for getting acquired as a team. Build a start up centered around an opensource project that is awesome but not necessarily profitable. A Big$ company could acquire the group. They get a bunch of top quality programmers. Your creation wont be sunset. The opensource project may develop a life of its own at least through forking. At least it is better than creating a project that will be terminated on acquisition or lack of business model.
