Two years ago I sold my first and failed startup

It had zero revenue. I sold it for $6,000. But estimated $10,000.

I shared the full story here

And I also wrote a detailed article about how to sell a startup.

With 7 platforms where you can post it to sell.

I got a question:

“Hey, I read your post about selling an NRG business. How did you set a fair price if there was no revenue?”


When there is no revenue, there is no formula.
You can’t calculate it like a normal business.

So I did it in a simple way.

I treated it like a freelance job.


I asked myself:
– how many hours I spent
– what is my hourly rate
– what I would charge a client for this


This gave me a base price.

Then I added about +30%

Why?

Because people negotiate. So I left space to go lower.

In the end, it’s more about feeling.

You pick a price that feels fair to you.

That’s it.
