I’ve been at two startups in my career. Both venture capital financed. Even though they are completely different industries, this is the exact playbook they used.
The VCs were in the same industry both times, though: Making money by selling property.
They're not interested in selling do-dads, or softwhizzles. They want to sell the company, and that's making the same play in the same game every time.
While I agree, their decision dissolved one of them. They picked the up and coming product over the one activity making money, burned through the capital and the new product never made it to market.
So keep control of your own indie and don't do shared ownership. Check.
Easier said than done if you are not independently wealthy and can bring your own capital with you.
