@levelsio@shawmakesmagic Gonna strong agree with everyone else here. Shoulda been a DM or a non-personal opinion piece if that’s your goal. Can’t have it both ways.
@MattCowlin@juanjovn lol was legitimately trying to understand what I believe to be true in your initial guidance, because I too see a major gap in founder expectations and reality, but I think it’s more around stage and scale. Small indie apps are not 4-7x, maybe never have been?
@MattCowlin@juanjovn Maybe another caveat that explains our difference is I’m talking trailing twelve month (TTM) multiplier, not exit month x 12 for ARR. Understand this is less common for earlier apps.
@MattCowlin@juanjovn Never 5x? I feel like 4-7x was the standard range for B2C (and what I’ve experienced personally), anything less was more of an exception if it’s an extremely simple/generic app. Im curious to learn more about this discrepancy, because i do agree with your initial guidance above
@marclou Feel like 6x trailing twelve month (not projected or 12x current month) is appropriate. Another approximation would 12xcurrent_monthx3. Both probably get you from 350-500
@justddev Anyone know if you pull the version while it’s waiting in review to make an update and quickly resubmit with a newer version, does that reset the clock?
