#SOEMe17
"Hoffman’s actions serve as an example of the positive impacts an acquisition can have on the community. When a local business is built and sold, it serves as a liquidity event for startup founders and investors who realize a return on
their financial investments and sweat equity. In cases where founders and early employees still retain significant amount of shares in the company, an exit (like Putney’s) potentially creates a number of newly wealthy individuals who may be
interested in using that capital to launch their own companies or invest in promising local startups."Whit Richardson, Maine Startups
