Ask HN: Looking for Old Post RE: Pre-Buyout Startup Legal and Accounting Checklist

6 points by SamBoogieNYC ↗ HN
I hope this isn't too vague but I've been using the Hacker News Search to find an old thread regarding the legal and accounting steps that Startups should take from Day 1 to prepare themselves for a buyout.

I don't remember what the OP was exactly, but I remember a detailed discussion about how proper setup of your Startup can make it much easier when/if the time comes to get acquired.

Specifically, there was a comment with a link to a very comprehensive checklist (~50+ items). The comment was detailed and the writer of the post stated that they used this checklist to close an acquisition inside of a week. If this is ringing any bells, please help!
