Exit Analysis

Priced against revenue rather than profit, Tech Pod sold at 1.0× annual revenue, below the 2.3× median across the 277 deals with a disclosed revenue multiple. Revenue multiples run higher than profit multiples because they ignore the cost of running the business, so they are only comparable between businesses with similar margins.

This database tracks 78 Newsletter exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $5,000. 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.
