The story is literally about a funding round for Framework. Those investors don't just give away the money. They buy a stake in the company.
Yes, the exception. That simply supports my argument.
And we're talking about stuff we see. Again, I bet you'd never heard of FolderShare or UbiBoot before I mentioned them here, and those are just 2 tools of many that I've lost to acquisitions over the years.
How many other tools/products have companies quietly acquired and killed that we don't know about?
