> So you take it. You make an announcement, everyone oos and aahs over your new valuation. Talent flocks to you, fuck yea. Things are going great!

Taking money doesn't necessarily mean you have to go on an expansion spree.

Or, if it does, you need to make this decision before you take the money.

"Talent flocks to you" doesn't have to mean you accept them all; it might just mean you have better picks.
