I would like to look back on the sale of our startup with the feeling that the buyer and I could sit on a entrepreneurial conference panel together and talk in a warm, genuine way about having come to terms that were fair to both of us.

That said, I'd find it almost impossible to conceal my glee and satisfaction with anything north of $2M.
