Look, If a megacorp sees something in your company, there must be value in your company.
Unless this company has extra money to just toss around, they definitely must think that they can at least double their money on buying you out.
The question is, what are they actually buying? Are they buying a concept/dream? What differentiates you from every other biz in your market?
They are going to play off your greed. They expect you to want instant gratification by accepting a huge buyout along with an agreement to work for them.
Look, You said you were young, and your colleagues are young. If this deal is coming up now - Imaging what will pop up in another 90 days. Also, did you sign an NDA? (Well, if you did, your post to/. is probably not a good thing). If you didnt, take their deal to another megacorp and offer them the same thing for 50% more. If they see the value in it, they might do it.
You are the one at the advantage here because you are the ones making the decision.
Talk to an attorney; Get a business counsellor to find out why they want to buy you. What's attractive to them should be what is attractive to you.. . .
Remember - 51% is all that counts.
He has been doing a great job with TWIT; I am excited for this news.
G4 is now a horrible network, the casting is pretty lame, and the "The Screensaver's" nock off (Attack of the show) is getting old.
Call for help was a GREAT show, I almost considered getting a dish so I could tune into the Canadian station that airs it. If only they could bring TSS back. You hearing this G4?
