Better yet: Build a company that makes you a comfortable living, acquire customers who pay you (sort of needed for that "comfortable living" bit), and when people try to acquire you, politely decline.

You'll make a good or great income, you will be making your customers happy and delivering value, and no one is going to be pissed because there's no one aborting your product.



Say you're making 50k as a solo founder and someone offers you $1M with a two year earn out clause. Wouldn't you be stupid not to take it?
