Thanks for the insight. I'm pretty sure I can negotiate better than them as my partners and I have done a ton of complex M&A deals in the past so no one is going to fk me over in any way, but I do agree with you that this can be an expensive distraction. I was thinking whether to invite other suitors to play it off each other to make it worth my while and this in turn, can help with the fundraising side with the whole intention of just maximizing the deal structure and terms and amount raised w/r/t fundraising. Thanks so much for your input!
