Looking for a multiple reality-check from folks who've transacted comparable assets recently. Considering a sale in the next 3-6 months and want to calibrate expectations before running a process. Snapshot: - Vertical SaaS in the Shopify/BigCommerce app space - $75k+ MRR, crossing $1M ARR in the next few months - 50%+ YoY growth - 50%+ net margin ex-founder comp (contract engineering expensed) - <1% monthly revenue churn, ~1% logo churn - y/y acceleration of large customers - Almost entirely organic/inbound. Small Shopify paid ad spend - Bootstrapped Team: - 4 co-founders, all part-time (each has other ventures) - 1 contract engineer - Would require 1 FTE of work across Product Management / Customer (light weekly volume of support requests and demos). Add GTM support based on growth thesis. Why considering a sale: Founders are stretched across other projects. The business runs cleanly without a lot of day-to-day founder input. Open to a buyer who'd accelerate via modest paid/channel investment, or an operator who wants a durable cash-flowing asset. Untapped growth levers: - No significant paid marketing to date (events, influencers, partnerships) - Agency channel undeveloped - Pricing never raised for existing customers - Cross-sell of already-built adjacent products - New adjacent products (1 in development, 1 scoping) Ask: What multiples are you seeing on comparable Shopify ecosystem SaaS right now, both cash-at-close and with seller financing / earnouts? Happy to share more detail via DM with anyone who's looked at similar deals recently.
