David Karp (as just one example) said virtually the exact same thing re: Yahoo! acquisition.

Don't be that guy and spin a Jobs-esque reality distortion field.

If things were so perfect to begin with at Trello, you wouldn't be selling. The fact that you did indicates something needed changing.

You hope things won't change for the worse, as do your users, but assuring people that won't happen makes about as much since as guaranteeing you have the winning ticket for next week's lottery.

I'm going to hazard a guess that the main thing that "needed changing" was "not having $425 million".

I'm willing to prioritize "having $425mm" over all the cards I currently have in Trello.
