So, I assume that employees must be happy with this acquisition. One good thing about Cisco is that they won’t acquire a company in which ordinary employees don’t have healthy stake.

It is that faith and leadership that often makes the difference between a mediocre outcome, and an excellent outcome, such as this one.

Want to highlight one thing you said: Accel (and, in particular, Peter Fenton, who's now at Benchmark) stayed with the company through many twists and turns, and I'm very happy to get to an outcome. Peter was/is an exceptional board member, and was committed to us during times that were definitely not the best.
