Sometimes caring deeply for the product means you need help to get it where it needs to be, and sometimes getting it where it needs to be means being acquired by another company to help get it there.
- coldtea 14y agoIf the second thing happened a lot I'd agree. But I don't know many cases where the product doesn't either halt, or degenerate rapidly after being acquired by another company. I'm sure one can think of one or two such cases. But can they think of ten? So that reasoning I don't think applies. The founders know that the product will go down the drain post acquisition, but they still do it for the money.
