Surely @ ~$18k p/mo in profit this can be figured out though, as in, outsource the cruft as much as feasible. That's far worth keeping a company in operation, imho.

Assuming the business won't simply shut down without the founders being full throttle on these sorts of tasks, it'll free up time for M&A.

Curious, why the urge to sell?

Thanks for the feedback. Namely, there's a number of other product ideas I think could be higher growth that I'd like to explore. Recently moved to SV from a fly-over state, and think may finally have the potential to leverage an SV network for mentorship/advice.

A lot of the feedback I've gotten from founders has broken down in the following sense: if the person has grown and sold a company before of >= 10M ARR, they typically say shut it down ASAP and move on. If the founder has never grown and sold a business before, they advise to keep it running.
