Hey Chris,

Sorry if this was obvious, but did you just sell the product, or did you sell the whole company (or something else)? How do you manage the acquisitions yet still keep GetVocal your own company?

I'd love to chat with you a bit more about this, as I've been in some similar situations and would love some advice.

Great question. GetVocal, inc. is the legal entity running all of my start-ups as DBAs. Each start-up is a service of GetVocal, inc. The acquisitions are easier than buying a company with liabilities and shareholders etc. Only the product/service (Nodester) is sold by GetVocal, inc.

can you please expand on this? everybody says C-CORP for a startup for flexibility, investor trust and so on. OTOH, C-CORPs are costlier and more complex. but you're an INC and "real" startups as DBAs! if you make blog post on this that would be great.
