There's a not-always-unjustified perception in the SV startup scene that it is the end-game, at least of a particular run, because so many startups' products are shuttered by the acquirer. So it better be a big enough payout that you're satisfied with that cashout.

But it looks like this is a quite different kind of acquisition, where they'll basically be doing the same job as before, just under a new umbrella, so it's not really cashing out and shutting down the old business at all.
