Founder here of a 300 person startup. It's appalling and infuriating to read stories like these.
I started my biz because I wanted to make products that people love, that create value and timesave for others (specifically restaurants). I've always thought that if I do that and have a good time doing it the money will take care of itself.
I would be horrified if some PE firm rug-pulled our users and screwed our employees. Any such takeover would have to happen over my dead body.
- hiq 1y agoHow many offers have you rejected so far? What were the amounts? When founders sell, it's rarely to end up making the same amount of money they would make if they kept ownership. And once you've sold you have no control.
