Hey I am on Medialย โ€ขย 3d

They weren't "forcibly acquired" - they ran out of cash after burning through millions in VC funding with an unsustainable business model and desperate unit economics. The real protection against acquisition is building a sustainable business that doesn't need constant funding rounds to survive. I've founded three companies and the most important thing is positive unit economics from day one. Focus on revenue and profitability, not growth at all costs. The startups that get "forced" into acquisition are the ones that build themselves into a corner with high burn rates and no path to profitability. Bootstrap if you can, and if you do take investment, make sure you maintain control of the board.
