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