Ask HN: Anyone want to sell their side project or startup?
I am looking to buy a side project or startup that can be potentially run by a single person.
I don't want to disclose budget. For the right project and technology startup, I can put down money.
Please answer with following questions. If you are not willing to disclose data publicly, then shoot me an email.
My email is domainsurgeon at gmail.
Questions-
1. Website url
2. What the project or startup is about (one line)
3. Monthly active users
4. Source of revenue streams
5. Monthly income (if any )
6. Adsense enabled?
Thanks.
An open Ask HN community consultation from 2017 where @pegeonland convened hundreds of developers and bootstrappers to share real experiences, hard numbers, and tactics.
Hundreds of active indie hackers contributed case studies, pricing heuristics, and pitfalls to avoid when moonlighting on side projects.
Possibly not one that can be run by one person but will add this here anyway. Been running this for the last few years, funded and self-funded, full-time and part-time and as a side project. Whilst popular with the users we have and with sounds uploaded from all over the world it never took off in the way we'd hoped and now I'm unfortunately considering shutting it down to move onto pastures new. Though I have been thinking if anyone would want the IP or the platform we've built for another purpose.
1. Website url: https://foundbite.co ↗ (Also have Android, iOS and Windows apps) 2. What the project or startup is about (one line) - Apps for sharing and exploring the sounds of the world. 3. Monthly active users - Varies but around 600-1000 for our iOS and Windows Apps and ~150 downloads per day on Android. Figures have dwindled since I stopped working on the app for obvious reasons. 4. Source of revenue streams - We were planning on implementing sponsored foundbites but just didn't have the audience. 5. Monthly income (if any ) £0 - current cost to run is ~£150 per month. 6. Adsense enabled? Nope, but something we were considering.
1. Website url: http://c2x.eastros.com/ ↗
2. What the project or startup is about (one line): Contacts backup and restore service
3. Monthly active users: Will have to check, a while back were getting one backup request every 2 minutes.
4. Source of revenue streams: In app purchase
5. Monthly income (if any ): ~ $700/month in profits
6. Adsense enabled?: No
It would help if you said what your goal is. Are you just looking for something that is already earning revenue, that you can tweak and maintain? Or are you looking to purchase an interesting technology startup and associated intellectual property which you can then build on?
It would also help if you gave a ballpark of your budget, otherwise you might be wasting people's time. Is it closer to $10M, $1M, or $100k?
I created Learneroo.com for people to learn programming online. It earns revenue from members paying for full access to the site. I considered selling it when I joined Google as a software engineer, but I decided it made more sense to keep running it as a side project. However I'm open to collaborating with someone who would be interested in developing it further.

2. World's first search engine for sales tax (Canada only)
3. Difficult to know, since it was soft launched a few days ago
4. Classified ads (against 12,000+ consumer goods and services in the database)
5. Not monetized; classified ads have not been activated yet
