I understand Jason’s perspective and not being willing to take on a company that has reached or passed its peak, but there are managers who specialise in certain phases of a company life cycle. Not everyone is an entrepreneur, and not everyone likes to start form scratch. Some individuals are more comfortable in an established firm role, maintaining a ship’s course, and finding new ways to grow.

Jason, you’ve worked in publishing, you should be able to relate to this analogy of different styles and ways of working – a writer that starts with a blank page versus an editor who finds the parts to be added, changed or removed.
