This is why VCs should put some money into the pockets of the founders when they fund a company.

There may be good reasons, as far as the future of the company goes, why they shouldn't sell out to Yahoo or someone else. But, we are talking about a lot of money here. And if the founders aren't already independent, money-wise, can you really fault them for looking out for themselves, for their families?

I know money isn't supposed to be everything, but come on.




I guess VC's in Foursquare might also be very happy with the possible sale and less interested in seeing the baby grow.
