Maybe obvious (?), but if you recognize (or at least accept) that your product might be a "feature", you probably have thought about who/what might benefit from that "feature". Have you contemplated calling the folks in that market to see if they might be interested?

Also concur with petervandijck earler. Might be interesting to just post your company name here. You might find a taker.

As to valuation, I wish there was a magic formula. I know from my own experience that the seemingly harsh valuation of a suitor will NEVER equal the company's value in your heart. Don't allow yourself to be insulted by an offer, at least publicly; you will almost certainly be angry, insulted, and frustrated at the value others will assign to your baby.



Following up on my own post. Totally ignore and disregard all of the above if you have even a moments pause about selling. As others have mentioned, pivot or competing in larger market are both valid courses of action to be considered if you have an ounce of fight left.
