In 2015, Microsoft bought Christian Reber’s to-do list app, Wunderlist, for a sum that was reported to be between $100 million and $200 million.
When asked to further explain his feelings at that time, Reber replied:"You should ask my therapist."
Reber now believes he wasn't mentally prepared to sell Wunderlist, which he had been trying to make as big as possible for five years.When Microsoft came knocking with the offer, Reber's partner, Charlette Prevot, was pregnant. Prevot co-founded Wunderlist with Reber and four others. "The choice I had to make as a founder was I either raised a growth round and tried to turn this into a profitable business, or I sell this for a very profitable amount of money and my family gets independence."decided to step off the start-up rollercoaster, which had almost seen their business crash and burn on several occasions.
"I was completely burnt out and I was tired and I felt like it was the best decision for everyone involved to sell the company," Reber said, adding that he had to put on a"poker face" as he did it. "When I sold it I never celebrated it, I didn't party, didn't go for fancy dinners. I just like muted every email and felt like I was sad. I'm not even joking. There were moments where I was holding my child and I asked my wife to take him because I felt so sad that I didn't want him to see daddy being sad.""I got financially independent, which is awesome," he said."I built something that had a really positive impact.
