We need more uplifting stories like this one. Thank you salesforce. Jokes aside though, many (most?) acquihires are for very little $. Often just founders not being able to continue and just wanting an honorable exit + guarante…
A valuable skill as entrepreneurs, is to know when to stop and move on.
