Congratulations! Nice problem to have. Others are better placed but you've been waiting an hour... - You say "Starting up is the most challenging job ": what if you assume it doesn't get any easier? - What are the downside risks of an aquihire? What would you work look like? Is this somewhere you would otherwise choose to work? - Leaving aside success for the business, what do you personally want out of life now, in the next few years, long term? - You've had four offers without actively looking, what if you active look for buyers? - What two people/roles could you hire that would make you enthusiastic about continuing to build your company? |

- Downsides of acquihire is that we may not adopt to the culture to build markets. I want to work and build on their product (i am a user). They want to expand to a market that we are targeting and our domain knowledge attracts their team.
- Currently, I really want a direction: our TG is affected by the slowdown. It is also the TG that will emerge first as soon as the markets open. I am unsure how long the delay is going to last. In next few years, if the acquihire turns out to be right then I'll be in the centre of building markets that I love. In the long run, I want to build a useful venture. It will be the last place where team mates come together to build their careers.
- I never thought of actively looking for buyers because I would not buy my own company today. Although we have customers, I think we have a lot to do before we begin to surprise ourselves.
- Two roles that we could hire: This is an interesting point. I don't have to think of those two roles, it is on my mind. As and when we get a hint of getting a bandwidth for those two roles, we'll roll out the JDs.
