Paid newsletter on high-converting Facebook ad creative that grew from 36 subscribers to over 13,000 and generated $29,000+ in revenue; the founder listed it on Acquire.com and sold it roughly 14 months after launch, staying on to write under contract post-acquisition.
This database tracks 68 Newsletter exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $5,500. Category matters more than founders expect: buyers apply different discount rates to a content business, a mobile app and a B2B tool even at identical revenue.
From founding to sale took 1.2 years. The deal closed through Acquire.com, one of 158 exits in this database that went the same route. Time to exit is a decent proxy for how built-to-sell a business was: shorter, cleaner processes usually mean documented operations and fewer surprises in due diligence.
