You've spent a few years founding and building an ethical, sustainable company that does good work for your customers. You aren't personally making much profit.
A huge firm swoops in and offers to buy your company. You stand to gain $1.5 billion, and some of your friends invested in the company will also be making many millions of dollars. Most of your employees won't be making much from the deal.
Do you accept the offer?
@urusan This question bothered me, and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out why.
If I set up a company it would be a cooperative from the start, and it would stay that way. So it wouldn't even be my decision, because no single person should be taking decisions that significantly change other people's lives without their input.
In practice this means I'll probably never start a company. <<"
