    How old was the company? What industry? How many staff? Much revenue?

    I want to get started on something, but there seems to be a well established and well funded competitor operating locally for every bloody idea haha

      I feel you, I just started my second venture and it’s a doozy trying to find that sweet spot of new idea and something someone will actually buy/use.

      To answer your other questions: about 2 yrs old, healthcare technology, like 4 of us, minimal revenue but growing 20% or so MoM. I would have classified us as an early stage startup. If we didn’t get acquired, we probably would have tried to raise a seed round soon after.
