Which is why the founder that succeeded and got the sale is not the one building the new version. He is going off and re-doing an unrelated acquisition.

No, I pointed out that Goodreads' Otis Chandler and Elizabeth Khuri did not go anywhere after the 2013 acquisition. They stayed, for years. Khuri is still there; Chandler continued as Goodreads' CEO till 2019.

I was surprised neither of them left sooner than that to do anything new, in any sector.
