"When a sufficiently high-up decision maker decides he/she wants to buy your startup, he/she will attempt to meet with you constantly and put time pressure on you, so as to prevent you from shopping the deal and getting a better offer. The absence of this behavior indicates the other company is not serious about acquiring your business."

"Letting a potential acquirer interview your team is extremely distracting for them, and signals to the acquirer that you are willing to bend over."

Wow, great read thanks a lot! Actually I have been preaching the "as soon as we interview before we have a valuation it's over" - great to read that I was right ;-D Thanks! Made my day!
