hi -- thank you for posting this! I may take you up on the offer if our final push doesn't prove successful, sounds like a great place to work.

Thanks for writing and you make a good point. We do have some relationships which could result in acqui-hire and will consider that to be the proverbial corn field to try and crash-land the plane in.

Thank you for the reply. We are in the midst of planning a last assault on the prize, and will be sure to give everyone fair warning of what is at stake.

Thank you for the offer. We are about to launch a glorious final assault, and if I may I'd like to defer and take you up on it when we get a few more data points.

Thank you for the reply. My career is not my only concern, but one of the things I have to consider if we need to wind this down.

The stinging nature of your impression of me for asking it carries its own lesson.

Thank you for the reply, it helps to put myself in their shoes.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I will definitely consider taking some of the revenue generating steps you suggested.

We have internally been looking at what a shell team looks like for Plan B and when we'd need to start throwing the chairs out of the plane but also had been trying to consider the signal that sends to investors. We are launching a new sales effort in the next week and there is a chance it could prove promising, so Plan C is bet the rest of the company on it. We have been upfront with current investors and they don't want their money back, they want us to keep it rolling, but the ride is about to get bumpy.
