Before I got there they rolled the dice and walked away from a $250MM acquisition offer and ousted their original CEO.  They were somehow able to acquire additional funding before I left but, based on the numbers I saw, they were using questionable models to indicate that they were more profitable than they are.<p>They still exist and will probably take another 18 months to wither and die.  The experience taught me to look hard for red flags and to hold my company as accountable as myself.
