Ask HN: Do technology choices affect acquisitions?

When we were acquired the stack wasn't too much of a concern. What was a potential issue was open-source libraries that did not have the appropriate licensing.

Depends on who is acquiring you. I was told a online retailer had a significant bias towards java startups because they could intergrate it easier.

I friend told me that Google wasn't acquired by MS because Google fully ran on windows...and integrating would have been costly. Dunno how true it is. In your case, , you should consider how much it would cost acquiring company to rewrite your code on their stack.
