What are you talking about? This is nowhere near the truth. I have nothing to sell, especially a competing product to meetup. The last thing I want to do is get into the crappy event management business. Go ahead and use Meetup if that&#x27

Some of my own experience: Meetup.com is an awful platform that now has a value-extraction owner who will just make it even worse, as bad as it is now. Don't use Meetup.com. Second, being a meetup organizer is a thankless task. People

There's some question as to whether the acquisition payment is taxed as income as per an Asset Purchase Agreement or as capital gains as per a sale of company ownership. Which was it for you? Also, can you recommend or refer the law fi

In not too many years, the average user will be prompting to get their needs met, rather than searching a flawed search system, wading through pages of sponsored and SEO-gamified links, opening up multiple tabs to try to dig out the details

Your second cynical answer is the correct one. It's always about the shareholder and never about the customer at Broadcom. Remember Computer Associates (CA)? Yeah, they're now Broadcom. That pattern of acquire - consolidate - turn
