I imagine it widely varies depending on a multitude of factors; how many employees are equitably compensated, whether it’s an acqui-hire or a tech/business value acquisition, if the acquiring company/organization plans to take over any leadership duties, etc etc.

Generally though, most of not all were just thankful to not have to depend on VC. Revenue wasn’t high enough to keep the company afloat, and the value in us was largely in our established brand within the market combined with a rather active user base.

Fortunately, most everyone who was in the company pre-acquisition are still around over a year and a half later.
