Do you feel it is not a good deal? Or do you think you should be negotiating for more? Maybe because you think that's what you should be doing or you believe they expect you to do so?If the deal feels good and you feel great then why the second guess?

Did you ask about dilution and things like what happens to your shares if the company sells for 3x or .5x etc? There&rsquo;s a number of things to know before hand but 1.5% seems nice to my uneducated eyes.
