> it has been our mission to forever protect our families from any financial misfortune. We hoped we could help the world make time for what matters along the way, but ultimately money comes first.

There's nothing wrong with selling out and getting rich. There's no need to lie about it.

Jokes aside though, many (most?) acquihires are for very little $. Often just founders not being able to continue and just wanting an honorable exit + guaranteed jobs for their teams.

Doesn't really sound like it.

These acquihires seem so ineffective to me unless the acquiring company is truly attractive to the acquirees talent.
