I love it when a company you've never heard of gets acquired at these huge valuations. Its the type of motivational story that works for me.

- jonknee 17y agoWell they are a publicly traded company (OMTR) so it wasn't like the valuation came out of nowhere and the founders have already had their payday (though they have kept plenty of stock around). It was a 24% premium on share price or so.
- jhancock 17y agoI understand. There are plenty of public companies that are not well known outside their niche. This is the part that is motivating: a big company can be successful and relatively unknown. To compare and scale down my feelings on this to my latest startup, I have zero desire for recognition outside my target user. There will be no HN "check this out" posts, no begging outlets like TechCrunch to cover me...these should be a waste of energy for my approach to work.
- akd 17y agoThe fact that you've never heard of Omniture says more about you than it does about Omniture or Adobe.
