Hookit was acquired by KORE Software for much more than the $20 million they raised over three funding rounds.

But getting there was no walk in the park.

They discuss:

• how Hookit got acquired for 2x the offer price

• why co-founders need to be aligned before the big close

• embracing the shift to becoming an employee after a merger
