I have two choices… get married within the year or lose billions. My main shareholder has been given a year to live. When he dies, his shares will go to his out-of-hand children, and the company my friends and I spent our lives building will burn to the ground. Unless we can convince him to sell to us. But he’s not interested in our money; he has a list of demands for us, hoping we’ll turn out better than his kids. All the demands seem fair, from seeing a personal trainer to taking a quarterly founders' retreat. Until we get to the last item on his list. “Get married and sign a pre-nup promising your bride 50% of your fortune upon divorce.” No amount of arguing or money will deter him from his plans. So the five of us are left with no other choice. We all get married. Or we all fail. Marrying the wrong person could cost us everything. But we already have everything to lose.
