Just make sure you aren't too attached to what you've built. My employer
was acquired by one of those "97 MBAs and a dozen vulture capitalists"
outfits when the founder wanted to retire, and ever since it's been a
constant struggle for management on our end to stave off the attempts
of a bunch of know-nothing suits to run us into the ground with full-on
FYPM policies towards pricing, licensing, and customer service...
