Ask HN: Have you sold your (solo) product or startup to Big Tech? How was it?

2 pointsby vinaymsalmost 6 years ago
I am interested to know everything - how it started, who approached, what the negotiation was like, how it affected your life, what you did next - everything. I am a single ambitious dev, so am interested in stories of either solo or small teams of 2 or three devs. Though I say Big Tech, it could be any company really.

&quot;How I Sold My Bible App Company&quot; (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11032480" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=11032480</a>) is a great writeup.<p>The Life After Business Podcast had a couple of stories, e.g. the &quot;Lost and Founder - Tales from Startup to Exit&quot;. Other episodes also cover exists of e.g. a carpet cleaning business or a exit from 20 years ago.
