The entrepreneurial dream of selling a startup for megabucks came true for the founders of photo-sharing app Instagram when Facebook agreed to buy the company for $1 billion in cash and stock. It's a remarkable outcome for a young company that still isn't generating revenue. Facebook is betting it can leverage not only Instagram's [...]
Instagram, Spotify, Square, Pinterest, and the list goes on: It's starting to seem like billion-dollar startup valuations are a dime a dozen.

Are you looking to sell your business this year? If so, here’s some good and bad news. First, the bad news. If you’re looking to sell right away, you probably won’t get full value, as it takes a good year of preparation to sell before you actually put your company on the [...]
If you’re thinking about selling your business, think twice. Selling a business should never be a spur-of-the-moment decision, says Curtis Kroeker, group general manager for San Francisco-based BizBuySell.com and BizQuest.com, business-for-sale marketplaces that have an inventory of about 40,000 businesses.

Effectiveness in negotiations is related to success more broadly, which is why there are so many books on effective negotiations, and why the topic has been the source of a lot of research.

Make no mistake, this is something I still struggle with every day. But after twenty years of wishing I’d just kept quiet that [...]
Certain entrepreneurial skills can’t be taught in school. And, in my opinion, one of these is knowing how to negotiate your way to a “yes.” Sometimes it can be hard to get people to understand your vision. Without being able to comprehend what you’d ultimately like to accomplish, they automatically [...]
If you're in business, you're a negotiator. You have no choice. Business doesn't happen unless two or more people enter into a transaction.
