My life does not need any re evaluation of any sort. I am an entrepreneur as well, and like all other entrepreneurs making money does not drive me, rather the creation of something from nothing is what really motivates me.

That being said, an acquisition from a large company would provide some third party validation, that I am sure many others creating something from nothing, crave.

"an acquisition from a large company would provide some third party validation, that I am sure many others creating something from nothing, crave."

Those people who crave third-party validation are usually in startups because they hope to strike it rich, not because they are genuinely interested in creating something that they enjoy. You need to escape that paradigm of measuring your self-worth based on others.
