Command AI co-founder here. What I'll add to Spenser's nice comment is that there was this strange tension when we were deciding to do this between: (1) Feeling like the only right outcome for a growing startup with runway is to keep going and try to build a massive independent company, (2) Realizing that we can probably grow faster as part of Amplitude (obv with less upside capture)
Obviously if your growth is so epic and you're a top 1% company, the choice is obvious. But there are a lot of companies that are doing well outside of that group that I don't think allow themselves to consider the acquisition route. We were like that until Amplitude reached out and we got good counsel to seriously consider their offer.
