I’ve been learning more about start-ups recently and have noticed a lot of them want to be acquired. Why is this? Could they also choose to grow their business?

Being acquired usually means having a really neat payday.

People in the business world are constantly deciding whether to continue playing or to cash out.

Playing means absorbing all the stresses of being part of a growing company. Some love it, some grow to disdain it over time.

This is why some cash out. They get that $10 million or $100 million and they live the rest of their lives in comfort (or they start a new startup and do it all over again, but they take a chill backseat as an investor).
