I was told that from my attorney who's handled hundreds of transactions on both sides, that the chances of me staying were about one in a thousand.

She's had maybe one or two founders that have stayed after a year.

Well, my... original goal became not just to be the best at selling blinds but about selling configurable hard to buy products so we built a platform to sell blinds but to sell other products such as custom is custom clothes custom whatever we didn't even know what that might be So we thought about doing that, but didn't, we had to stay to our core because the economy was getting soft and we felt like we had a lot more to gain just in the blinds business.

And it was a little risky to go into a new vertical that we didn't knew nothing about.
14:56
We would have to probably acquire a company, get a founder, have the founder stay.

And we knew that was unlikely.

Why do you think they're overlooked?
