I'm 21! Retirement!?
Points taken. Very much appreciated.
Yeah! Since once you retire you can work on whatever you want, instead of only working on things that produce money.
If they're NOT going to hire you, what are you going to do next? It doesn't sound like you'll have enough money to retire, which means you get a job or start something new.
You have an incredibly unique opportunity RIGHT NOW. Many entrepreneurs try multiple times and NEVER make something people want-- you may never do it again (there's a helluva lot of luck involved).
So, if I were you, I'd keep growing it unless you think it's a short term play or that it's going to quickly plateau.
Even if you ARE going to accept the offer, COUNTER. Say, "We think we're worth a lot more than that-- we'd like to see a better offer."
