Pros

Touchstone had a world class team: Management was strong The Engineers were top-notch All the employees were committed Revenue and customers were growing at good clip Many of the products were 10X better than competitors

Cons

The downside was a lack of investor support. One of the original investors sabotaged management's efforts to raise Series B funding. The company received four term-sheets and each term sheet was blocked by the investor. The company had to sell itself to Silicon Labs.

Smart colleagues and a comfortable working environment. All employees worked together to produce products with specs surpassing our competition

Cons

No 401k matching. No investor support. Company ended up selling all of its assets for way less than what the company was valued.

Pros

there were few people so communication was easy and people were nice at the beginning, management was quite friendly at the beginning too.

Cons

the founder want to build up the company as fast as possible but forgot the idea was bound to be a slow company from the very beginning so it was not surprising that it failed in the end
