Ask HN: Competitor wants to license components of our technology

7 pointsby PabloOsinagaalmost 11 years ago
Competitor is the company with the most funding in our space.<p>An acquisition is out of the question as they can&#x27;t pay what we would sell for.<p>But they are interested in licensing some components of our technology&#x2F;product.<p>While our initial inclination is saying no - under what circumstances do you think it would make sense?

&gt; under what circumstances do you think it would make sense?<p>If you can keep your brand when your competitor is licensing your components. That way you make your competitor act like your sales.
