Ask HN: How to sell an app making $350k a year?

12 points by ios_app_sale 11y ago ↗ HN

We've got a very high profile app (iOS + Mac) that we're potentially looking to sell but I'm at a total loss where we could find a potential buyer.

It's generating about $350k a year ($1k a day avg). How would we go about finding a buyer for an app generating this sort of money?

If you're interested in talking, feel free to email me at ios.app.sale.hn@gmail.com and I can provide more information.

The app name is intentionally kept secret as it's quite well-known.

Website brokers and such would be your best bet. Example feinternational.com or anyone else that is reputable would be the best bet for you to sell your app.

With that revenue, why sell it? Could you not hire someone to maintain? Just curious.
