One of the best parts of Baremetrics is that it's an "Open Startup". I can't help but think that the acquisition is clearly not open if he didn't talk about it during the acquisition and doesn't name names here.

I think he's right not to dox the company, but perhaps in the future having an "open acquisition process" could have avoided some of the headache.




I threw around the idea but the reality was I wasn't in a strong position to try to negotiate that with a potential buyer.

Acquisitions are incredibly closed-door and so finding a buyer who was willing to be open about the process would have been nearly impossible.
