A small company not a few years old trying to survive with a new idea and sound business plan. If all goes well, bumps in the market wont mean a finish to all the hard work. Some companies even release public stock and try to raise capital that way. Another method involves hope of being bough out by a larger company trying to corner the market of this new concept.Just make sure to not sell your business for stock options of the parent company alone, a good percentage should be in cash. How can you be certain the new owners will pursue the same vision that made you sucessful?<a href="http://www.stockmarketquotelist.com/">Stockmarket Quote List</a> What you describe sounds very familiar.

I also wanted to comment on your comment about open offices, I have had positive experiences with it. There was a lot of colaboration and it made it easier to just ask a co-worker a question. Often times they knew what I needed and I knew what they needed and we had decent productivity increases. Just saying. Do agree on the double monitors, especially for coding.
