Comment on Ask HN: How much should a bootstrapped startup ask for an acquihire?parent

Comments

How much are you willing to take to give up to take a normal job (noting you're probably locked in for a year or two)?

This is very important if your company is already making money/providing you with a salary/dividends.

You're not just being acquihired, but you're essentially losing control of an asset that makes you money. In the wrong circumstances, you could be hired, fired within months, and have no income, so the acquisition needs to be enough to cover thriving through that worst case.
