Points like this are the best to learn about early on (this article was the first one to mention it that I've read, so it's definitely something I'm going to try and keep in mind in case I need it down the road...though I'm far away from Silicon Valley and probably won't build a company that'll be acquired anytime soon).
It's one of my things. I'm based in Minneapolis, the land of a whole bunch of Fortune 500s and not a whole lot of startups. But I'm building new tools in the enterprise space, so I'm looking at it as better access to enterprise customers and experienced engineers who really grok the customer.
Thanks for highlighting this point for others!
