Positive and negative aspects of selling a startup to a big corporation

“If I were to start again, I would focus more on the people around me. I think it is more important to have the right team rather than the right topic. I believe that if you have the right team, you can grow a business in more or less every domain. When the team works good together, everyone knows what to do, there isn’t many conflicts, and that is certainly the way to successfully grow anything.”
