Not sure how you'd lay that out while staying private, any exit would require that you meet targets to take them out as opposed to a public market to sell into.
It might be more costly than you think without an established market exit strategy.

that's pretty much what I'm pondering. I'm not looking for a larger investment, mid $xxx,xxx
the goal is really acquisition rather than going public. I've been actively apart of 3 start-ups in the past, two sold to public companies, one was to a fortune 1000 2 years ago.
I know most angels don't like to see the objective is being acquired, but unless the opportunity to hire those types of executives are in place, it's a costly and time consuming venture.
honestly, not sure which path is the best but I know getting acquired is the easiest
