A 100,000-subscriber Reddit community for music, images and videos that give people chills. Its creator handed over moderating rights for a non-negotiable $1,000.
The $1,000 sale price puts it in the bottom quarter 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 52 Community exits, and the ones that disclosed a price sold at a median of $42,000. 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.
