Congratulations is due! The journey sounds very similar to what I'm going through, though in my case acquisition was the end result, couldn't see it through to the 3 digit $$.
Built an app 3 years ago, just kept at it and it was on a constant cycle of losing interest and suddenly bursting out features then losing interest again over and over.
Nevertheless, I get the grind and I respect it. It isn't easy keeping at something for these many years on the side especially without any rewards. There will be this inevitable impulse to just kill it and move on to the new one when after the excitement wanes off (it definitely makes sense for certain projects). Kudos for keeping it up!
Keep on going.
- gigamick 6y agoThanks, how did your acquisition end up happening? what MRR did you sell it at?
- avinoth 6y agoIt was via microacquire.com, the MRR was mostly around ~$90 for a year or so and was on the same when sold. Expenses were around ~$5/mo. so just kept it on maintenance mode. I decided to sell primarily because there were lots of enterprise companies' interests with people reaching out for bulk pricing and stuff, but I've really lost motivation on this project at that point so put it up for sale if anyone's interested to take it in that direction.
- fbxio 6y agoOut of curiosity, how much did you sell it for? And can you share some details how your side project had been valued to derive the final sale price?
