Figures / Market

$26,000

The smallest sale we take on

The weighted average of what a small company's data sold or was priced at, across the 8 records in the price ledger that price one company under 20 people (the smallest size any buyer's published rules require) or a startup sold through a wind-down market. A sale counts 1, a buyer's offer 0.5 and an intermediary's figure 0.25, older records less; open-ended figures are left out (3). The same records' weighted median is $25,000, their quartiles $10,000 and $40,000. The base case of a valuation is judged against it; when only the optimistic case reaches it, measuring decides.
