Altair didn’t survive for very long,
The company sold itself to Pertec for what was a very good amount of money back then.
In HN terms, it was a successful unicorn bro exit.
- dowager_dan99 2y agoand if I remember it correctly Roberts used the money to buy a peanut farm? Is that equivalent to a tech bro buying the coast of California or an island?
