Luego pasará lo que suceda. Como declaraban sus tres integrantes tras la adquisición, el empleo que los usuarios han hecho de su herramienta ha superado con creces sus expectativas más locas que, muy probablemente, se habrían visto recortadas por sus proveedores de capital semilla.

You think like an honest entrepreneur. I would have liked to see more of your comment here posted on Jeremy's blog. It would be great to see investors recognise that if they invest in a company run by an entrepreneur who can push the share price price (valuation) then the entrepreneur can also probably get the best price for their product / service in the market and also the best price at exit. Isn't that what investors want? And doesn't that mean a higher probability of success and greater return. If investors pitch into a company on lower valuation, then they should expect the product / service will also sell at a lower price, and exit results to be lower also. If the risk is acceptable and the return is acceptable, why does valuation even need to come into the equation? Ryan. You think like an honest entrepreneur.
