I see that number thrown around a lot as well. Unsure exactly what it means and how accurate it is of most acquihires.

Does $1M include salary over X years? Is it just the retention? How much is paid up front?

How mature is the product you've been working on? Is it something you've been doing on the side with your co-founders? How much time has been put into what you've done; both as a product and as a team.

You'll have to see what they're going to offer. I imagine you don't have much leverage though so the final price will be in the ballpark of their offer.
