Ask HN: To those who sold their company: some questions about how it went down
How much of the company did you own when you sold it?<p>How did the sale happen - did someone just turn up and offer you money, or did you go find a buyer?<p>Was there negotiation from a higher price down to $10M?<p>Did they buy the entire company from you or just buy the software assets?<p>How long did the sale take from when the buyer turned up till money in your account?<p>How much money did you end up with after paying tax on the sale?<p>What did you do to celebrate?<p>What did you do next - another business, get a job, sit at home watching TV?<p>Would you have handled the sale process differently if you could do it again?
