Once I had a dream. In that dream Google purchased my startup for $9 mln. I remember my hard feelings - it was not enough. In my dream I assessed my startup for $19 mln.
I try not to think about this. I'm just curious to know what is the approximate price of my startup and who might be interested in purchasing it.
What are your assessments of your startups and why?
One thing I would also add to my questions above is: Where would company X want to be strategically in? Is it easier to acquire you than build it in-house? That's not necessarily a good enough reason to start something but can be proxy for who might be interested.
9 mil is nothing to scoff at. Sell it and start a new company, or work out deal where you continue to work on the product if you simply cannot part with it.
I built Musi (http://feelthemusi.com and value it at roughly $125k. It's extremely lean to run, has tens of thousands of users (most of which are active), brings in a decent amount of advertising revenue, has a pretty nice database of user metrics, and has many possibilities for growth.
