25-Year-Old Online Dating Platform With $1.69M Revenue and $589K SDE
Founded in 2001, this online dating and relationship platform has operated for roughly 25 years. Transworld describes the business as focused on authenticity, community, and relationship building.
The numbers: The $1.75M ask is based on approximately $1.69M sales / $588.8K SDE, a roughly 35% SDE margin, or about 1.0x revenue and 3.0x SDE. The listing also shows a $1.3M down payment.
Why it’s interesting: The operating history is the standout. Few consumer internet businesses currently for sale were established as early as 2001, giving the platform more than two decades of operating history. The seller lists other business interests as the reason for selling.
What to watch: The public listing provides limited operating detail beyond the financials and company history. It does not disclose the monetization model, membership or paid-subscriber counts, traffic, acquisition channels, owner involvement, or team structure.
Worth asking: How is the $1.69M of revenue generated, and what are the current paid-member count, ARPU, churn, and retention? How have revenue and SDE trended over the past 3–5 years, and what are the primary customer-acquisition channels today?
