But the press (and I suspect many of the senior execs of these companies) don’t really explore the corrosive downside of these acquisition. If I don’t commit to millions of dollars of acquisitions I will … die? Chief Vesting Officers)? So I thought I would. The Aqui-hire Business. Go do a startup.

Because they will keep 20% equity each at the time of the acquisition, that means $6M each before taxes and vesting. This has an added advantage: GooBook employees know how acquisitions work at GooBook, and can help short-circuit the process.
