Savvy - what a waste of time and effort. So I guess the game here is "multiple" arbitrage. Buying firms based on the promise of a higher expected return (lower cost of capital) relative to strategic and financial buyers. Hope seems to be that acquired firms will drink the startup kool-aid, accept a lower acquisition price (due to the expected higher expected return on V/C money - ie, tech investments are typically priced on Price/Revenue multiples) than a strategic or financial buyer (P/E) would be willing to pay (using traditional cash flow multiples). Just another ponzi scheme masquerading as a technology startup...hooray. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes!
