These days, I don’t know if it makes sense at all to get sold out to anyone. Why not IPO? It’s a free never ending river of money that you can dip again and again. With proper voting structure, you retain full control and never fear dilution. Additionally, no dividends ever which means no worries about returning investor money or any real ROI. Over time, get included in one of the ETF index and you are set to unimaginable market caps. Selling out is for the losers, IMO.
