Japanese Celebrity Entertainment Blog

Japanese Celebrity Entertainment Blog changed hands at a 0.8× profit multiple, below the 2.5× median of the 105 deals in this database that disclosed both price and profit. Multiples below the median usually point to risk the buyer priced in: churn, dependence on a single channel or a business that still needed its founder.

The $1,533 sale price puts it in the bottom quarter of the 608 deals with a disclosed price here, where the median is $20,000. Most indie acquisitions cluster well under the headline numbers founders read about, which is exactly why a real distribution is more useful than an average.

This database tracks 227 Content/Media exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $26,800. 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. The deal closed through Rakko M&A, one of 16 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.
