Ask HN: How to sell your startup to FAANG and big companies?
Always been seeing startup founders say that their companies got aquired by Google and whatnot, and then some of them worked there for a few years, but only holding the position as (Senior) Software Engineer, what does it really mean and how to initialize this process? Is that an acquihire? If yes, who do they usually talk to? The manager of their competing products?
I'm also in the position that got a few customers for my SaaS product, but did not plan to stay too long in the industry. Some of the old PE-holding companies have really antiquated products but they are just big with many cash on hand. I'm thinking of seling my product to them. What's the best way to get started with the process and how likely they are intersted in acquiring a small but new player in their industry? Ideally $100k
