Almost none. I know lots of people who started software product companies. They usually divide into:

‘startup’ - Take VC and try to grow really fast. Want to be the next Google/Facebook. Dream of making millions from an exit.
‘bootstrapper’ - Grow slowly from their own profits. Want to create a profitable business they can sustain long term.

Neither wants to be ‘acqui-hired’. Although that is generally still preferable to going bust.
