Ask HN: Anyone want to sell their side project or startup?

44 pointspegeonland20 comments

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.

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.

this is an awesome idea!

Thanks Nico :)

Great.... looks like something I would like to get involved in. I got plenty time but little money to play around.

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?

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

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.

Great side project — I'm a fan of interactive tutorials like the ones you've made. Even though, not exactly the same your project reminds of the very helpful interactive textbooks on http://interactivepython.org/runestone/default/user/login?_n...

For someone interesting in collaborating for further development, what are your ideas for future development?

P.S. - I'm an alright Python/JavaScript programmer from Mumbai with time on my hand to work on side projects that align with my interests and I'm totally down to build stuff that helps people learn programming!

An iOS app(swift with Firebase as backend) for an organisation to chat among employees and create groups among employees and chat between them.Meetings availability of all members can be checked as well because employees can share availability through app.Very rich in UI/UX.

How does 9001$ sound?

(It's over 9000)

This is really cool.

I have to admit that I don't like the login-via-Facebook thing though - I don't have an FB account. So I can't play with it. Something to possibly keep in mind.

This was definitely something we thought about, and the prototype ( hgreer.com/meme-dev ) used just cookie authentication. However, because each new account starts with money, we had to discourage people using multiple accounts, and Facebook auth seemed like the most effective way.

Ohh. That part I didn't actually get. That's actual money.

I apologize: I... I thought this was a concept, with the "money" being abstract. I'm kind of more impressed now (although slightly stunned - but not in a negative way).

I do get the rationale behind actually involving real money: I figured it would create a sense of focus and eliminates noise. And then I had a look at the prototype. :)

Oh, it's definitely fake money. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Welp!

Thanks for the clarification.

(A version with actual real money could be interesting, although the caveats and ramifications do pile up at an alarming rate. But Bitcoin was bold and daring when it started...)

I can't buy it but I can contribute to it for free if you like.

I have to say, that is very very slick!

1. http://isittaxed.ca

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
