How to pull off an early acquisition for several million?
dutchkabuki: Number one... 2 bidders, bro. 2 bidders.  remember that.Number two... they got to know you.  got to know you. so w/ your top 5 targets... approach for some sort of partnership.  NOT ACQuisition! make some stuff up about how their product could work w/ yours, etc.  white label. anything.... then, most co's that are bought for the small single digit millions are bought for the team. So make sure that your "new partners" know how kickass you are and how much all of you are exactly lined up on this opportunity, and how you'd die to make sure you captured this market.  Do that with 2 bidders (2!) you;'re golden.how many people>?
