Law-enforcement community site with an attached storefront selling police-themed merchandise. Bright Mountain Media bought it from Jason Crawford in September 2014 for $120,000 cash at closing, with the founder staying on as a consultant at $1,000/month for 30 months.
The $120,000 sale price puts it in the upper half of the 547 deals with a disclosed price here, where the median is $21,000. 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 198 Content/Media exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $30,000. 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.
