This kind of information and what really goes on behind the scenes is rarely revealed. Mainly because if I told you about the shitstorm story of a top tier VC trying to buy my company and the deal exploding, that VC will do everything in their power to bury the story and make sure I'm personally not able to operate in the industry in the future.
The people at the top of tech are cut throat individuals. (And the people at the "top of tech" are not CEOs... they're the investors. The people who sit on boards who you never hear about. And that's the way they like it)
Nasty business!
3 months later a month before the deal is supposed to close, 2 more board members come out of the woodwork and shut the deal down. No idea they were on the board. Was outright lied to. (I have the call recordings to back that up)
Mind you these are top tier brand-name VCs. They hide behind their reputation, and it works because people like me are extremely hesitant to write comments like this calling out specific firms and people.
