Re:How to proceed when you run out of cash, but you still believe? on Wednesday December 04, 2019 @02:12PM (#21705830)
Having been through this, merely contacting the potential acquirers, confidentially or not, gives the perception that the startup is or will be out of cash, anyway. Every remotely acquisitive company is getting several of these inbound missives every day and they always assume the startup is dying. I don't see much downside to a different tack at this point and, if anything, it may serve to jump-start the auction process.

Yes, I believe that's exactly what's happening. Investors as a whole are able to shape their own reality: If enough of them talk about valuations taking a southward turn or a "bubble popping," then it can quickly become a self-fulfilling prophecy. The opposite case is also true, of course.

$8k annually for 650 users is about $1 per month per user vs a $15 list price. Is that right?
