Title: First, sorry for the anonymous account. NDA etc..<p>We're a small, boot-strapped (though fairly established) company. The major company that rules our industry is looking at acquiring or investing. We're really naive at these business aspects, we're engineers..<p>How much do you disclose on the early talks? We have a document prepared with vague but accurate graphs showing our growth, various comments about how awesome we are and our plans for product development.<p>I'm afraid of looking too keen for a sale, where I know we'd give up control but it would allow us other benefits of major growth. I feel completely lost here, I've read everything I can on HN but it's hard not knowing what to expect. Is it always this terrifying?<p>I'd love to hear any stories and advice, thanks for any input.
