Several years ago - gosh five or six I guess (I've really lost track of Wave-time over fifteen years) I started saying: My biggest concern, apart from outright failure, is a buyout right at the cusp of big success.

Although I remain skeptical (but hopeful!) that Wave is going to attain the heights we once envisioned, I more than ever fear the buyout if indeed we are on the verge of widespread adoption.

After fifteen years, I want to ride it out. Don't want to have to wonder - after a buyout - what could've been.

Purchase of the company.

SKS appears to have been concerned about this at the SHM. I don't suppose he referenced the possibility lightly. The folks with the under-developed products and the customer relationships would surely see the value of absorbing an unappreciated upstart with a stronger product, few customer relationships and a poor valuation like Wave. If I ran Symantec or McAfee, I'd see Wave is a ripe target. Fortunately for Wave's investors, I don't!!
