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?

I work for a startup. One reason why startups aim to get bought is scalability. Right now, there are six people covering product development, sales, registration, manufacturing, quality assurance, and marketing globally. I technically run a nationwide research program, but in reality, it’s a patchwork of a few key cooperators in a few states. If I had an entire team (and a larger budget), I could manage a true nationwide research program.
Getting acquired allows the innovative product to be scaled and marketed much easier than building everything from scratch.
