• In this rebounding market, should you be pushing to flip your company to Facebook or Google for six figures or more, or hold out and head towards an IPO?
• Expectations from the acquirer's point of view - how to ensure a smooth transition.
• Culture clash? How to marry your startup-iness with the culture of a bigger beast.
• VCs are giving thumbs up to IPOs - should you consider this instead?
