How tragic that the goal of startups isn't to make something useful but to get acquired (with consequent inevitable dismemberment and shuttering). Well done on the $200M, I guess.

Tragic? I don't follow that. If the goal isn't to make something useful in one way or another then why would a startup enterprise ever get acquired?

Is "makes the producer a lot of money" the only factor you consider when thinking of a good product?
