Sometimes though, the entrepreneur's become too emotionally involved with the startup and don't want to sell. That's why angel investors should negotiate the terms before parting their angel dollars.

Companies consolidate in an attempt to capture higher market share or enter new markets. However, some corporations may acquire a company in an entirely different industry for strategic reasons. For example, in a forward integration scenario, a computer producer may acquire its distribution channel to possess direct control over distribution. On the other hand, in a backward integration scenario, the computer producer may acquire its supplier to ensure the quality of the inputs it receives. All-in-all, if the startup you invested in has attracted the attention of a larger corporation, you’d be looking to M&A as an exit.

But we should also note that some angels aren't in it for the money. Some want to give back to the society, some enjoy coaching entrepreneurs etc. So these stats don't apply to these groups of investors. Yes, three to seven years, angels!

Great post.
Greed can be our greatest enemy.

Entrepreneurs are optimist, thus they continue to believe that their company is worth more than presented on the offer sheet.

yet, when the opportunity past, they regret not selling.

tip: be constantly creative, this way, see your company and then create another one.

greed can become your worst nightmare.
keep writing!
