You'll hear about why they chose to sell, what factors came into play at what points during the company's lifecycle, if they’d make the same decision if given the opportunity again - or do anything differently next time, and more.</p> <pre><code>Panelists: </code></pre> <p>· James Keller, former co-founder of Small Society which was purchased by Walmart Labs in 2011</p> <p>· Josh Reich, CEO & co-founder of Simple, which was purchased by BBVA in 2014</p> <p>· David Nelsen, Investor and Entrepreneur, and former CEO and Co-Founder of Giftango Corporation, which was purchased by InComm in 2012</p> <p>Moderator: Sara Morrow, Talent Partner, ebay Marketplaces</p> <p>Not only do I expect this will be a very interesting – and entertaining - evening of insights, experiences, and shoulda/coulda/wouldas... but what you learn might help you stay a little more sane and rested when it comes time to ask yourself, "To sell or not sell?"</p> <p>RSVP here: <a href="http://bit.ly/1OboEbC">http://bit.ly/1OboEbC</a></p> <p>See you on the 29th!</p> <p>--</p> <p>Doors open at 5:45pm and we’ll have pizza & sodas for you. Presentation starts at 6:30pm.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.meetup.com/eBay-Tech-Tuesdays">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
