Polish social photo and link sharing site with several million monthly users, built by a student founder without outside capital. Michal Sadowski and his partners sold it about a year in for over a million zlotys (roughly $320k at 2006 rates).
This database tracks 215 Content/Media exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $25,100. 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 1.0 years. 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.
