Asking Price Reasoning

The asking price is 5.2x profit and 3.6x trailing 12-month revenue ($260,859), within the range acquire.com suggests. Gross margin is 94%, and about 83% of revenue is recurring app subscriptions. A newsletter and sponsored articles add a separate income stream. The buyer also gets web, iOS and Android apps rebuilt in 2026, a proprietary alternative data history, and a developer API and MCP server that went on sale in September 2026 and are not yet in these numbers.

Hire a sales team

The business grew mostly through organic community channels, and there is no dedicated marketing team today. As a result any potential buyer has three clear growth paths: 1. Paid acquisition on new channels. Paid ads have had only one short test, on Meta. TikTok, YouTube, Reddit ads, and finance newsletter sponsorships are untested. 2. Community and content. Reddit communities were the main source of growth before. A buyer who invests in community and content can restart this channel and build more on YouTube and X. 3. B2B data. The developer API, the MCP server for AI agents, and the institutional data partnerships are live and early. A dedicated sales person can grow this revenue source. The data pipeline, the scoring model, and apps on iOS, Android, and the web are already built. Each growth path is a marketing or sales investment, not an engineering investment.

Selling Reasoning

Starting a new venture

Invested Inc runs several products. We are selling so the team can focus on our other businesses. The product, the data pipeline, and the apps are fully built, but the business needs an owner who can invest in marketing and B2B sales full time. We will support the transition to make sure the handoff is smooth.
