This post on becoming a viable target for acquisition by Microsoft provided me with some nice insights. Of course, the small firm I work for is being targeted by some large multinationals so I may have enjoyed the post because it is very relevant for where I am.

The trick for our company is using the right valuation method when the acquisition comes and for now, taking on the right amount and mix of debt (just like very other start up). While we are growing exponentially organically, I would like to make some additional infrastructure investments and to do so would require some outside capital.”
