Content and community website for firefighters and first responders, built by Chris David. Bright Mountain Media bought it in October 2013 for $30,000, paid as $5,880 down plus $1,005/month for 24 months.
The $30,000 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.
