Things I hear from founders who recently got (or about to get) acqu-hired, on a fairly consistent basis:
- “I will do it again. Not now, but maybe in a couple of years”
- “When I do this again, I’ll focus on building a company and business, not on building some cool shit”
- “I was too inexperienced. I want a learning opportunity now more than ever”
- “I won’t do another B2C. I’ll do B2B.”
- “I want to learn coding”
- “I’m broke. I want to get some breathing room financially”
