I hate the culture of startup selling themselves to big companies
thats often the life of a startup. most startups end up failing (~80%). the other 20% hope their hustle gets them big enough to be bought out so they can then relax more.
the people who work startups dont want to be working that job indefinitely. especially since it often entails being overworked.
I dont blame them either, Id take the buyout if it set up all my employees with a few million
Big if if i was a person who did any of this
