    I also would want a lawyer to take a look. Hence the note saying to talk to a lawyer. ;) The reality is, even knowing what to ask a lawyer can be difficult and it's not economically viable to ask a lawyer to summarize a 100-page legal

    We use GPT-3 to summarize it the document data. Then 24 hours later we completely delete all text, URLs and file uploads.

    That was the big reason for adding the massive disclaimer everywhere, but I guess we'll see. I also intentionally didn't just give an output of the summary but instead showed it next to each paragraph so the implication isn't

    Detangle gives you AI-generated summaries of your legal docs so you can understand what you're signing. Here's the YC SAFE, for example: https://detangle.ai/examples/yc-safe

    That entire $300k went to employees. As for $3.7 vs $2.9...that was basically the number that, to oversimplify, would roughly give the outcome I wanted for "retirement" when it comes to investment interest over the next 50 years.

    Depends on the employees and when they joined and if they exercised stock options or not. Big range from a few thousand to over $80,000.

    Investment vehicle was a SAFE. They basically cancelled the SAFE as part of the deal. We've had carryover losses for years, so from a tax perspective, there was no hit on either side.

    Right. I've been paying myself $100-150k a year for most of that.

    You're making a veritable crap-ton of assumptions here. Happy to talk about specific concerns, but not if you're going in to this with guns blazing looking for a witch to burn.

    So true. I could have also hated my life for those 7 years. I make a terrible employee. :)

    I threw around the idea but the reality was I wasn't in a strong position to try to negotiate that with a potential buyer. Acquisitions are incredibly closed-door and so finding a buyer who was willing to be open about the process woul

    That's the route we're going down now! As I mentioned in the article: > For me, this came at a time where, personally, life was…draining. Outside of work I wasn’t in a great place mentally. I was dealing with some family issues

    I think it's a company culture thing. I mean, I could have kept it buried and just hope nobody at the company found out but that's not how we roll. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Thanks so much for the kind words! Totally agree the diligence work, in the long run, wasn't a waste. At the very least, we organized a lot of documents I'd forgotten about.

    For better or worse, exclusivity in an LOI is the norm. Obviously, you don't have to accept the LOI, but any LOI that is missing exclusivity is usually a sign of inexperience and honestly is cause for concern.

    Brokers are pretty well connected and ours made sure to spread their name around. They'll have a hard time buying a company through typical routes for a while. I'm also perfectly happy to let anyone know in private who it is. :) D
