Hey everyone, looking for some harsh truths and strategic advice on an asset sale.
Over the last few months, I built a highly disruptive, elite academic platform. The model is B2B2C: instead of running ads, I built a decentralised sales model where commission-based "Independent Consultants" leverage their affluent networks to refer students to us.
We also use a unique "Reward Protocol" (behavioural economics) where we pay students high-street gift cards for hitting study milestones to hack teenage motivation.
It's an operational fully built platform with 5 different dashboards for Admin, Teachers, Students, Parents, and Consultants/Agents, which are all seamlessly linked and automate bookings, feedback, rewards, google meet setup, payments, and a bit of payroll too.
Life got in the way. I have completely run out of personal bandwidth to actually run this and deal with the day-to-day operations. It currently has zero/negligible revenue (~£3000 in the past couple of months).
Essentially, it’s hundreds of hours of web dev, elite copywriting, and strategic planning. A buyer could step in on Day 1, recruit agents, and launch instantly.
My Question: Because of the massive "quick launch" potential and the fact that high-ticket packages sell for up to £2k+, I was hoping to sell these assets for anywhere between £10,000 and £25,000.
- Am I completely delusional to ask for this pre-revenue?
- If this valuation is possible, who is the ideal buyer for this? (e.g., An existing agency looking to bolt on my tech/model, or a solo founder with capital but no technical skills?)
- Where is the best place to list a "turnkey startup" like this outside of the usual cash-flow broker sites?
Appreciate any candid feedback or advice!
