Ask HN: What is the most money a bootstrapped, one-person company has sold for?
- coreyp_1 11y agoInteresting question. I don't know where to begin looking, though.
- nostrademons 11y agoI would imagine most of these sales are non-public; there's little incentive for either the owner or the acquirer to publicize the data, if there are no other parties to the sale. One that is public (assuming you mean "one-person" as in single founder, not "no employees at the time of sale) is PlentyOfFish, which sold for $575M to Match Group last year: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlentyOfFish https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlentyOfFish
