Pocket Deals is our series breaking down real businesses available for acquisition. This first edition examines a micro-SaaS startup offering digital tools designed to support children with autism through an iOS app ecosystem.
The Business
The company operates as a B2C venture, distributing its application through Apple’s App Store. The app maintains compatibility with current iOS versions and provides structured support tools including visual schedules, gentle alarms, countdown timers, and sequential task guidance — features designed to help children manage daily activities while maintaining composure and focus.
A meaningful solution with proven functionality and a dedicated market — at a price point accessible to first-time acquirers.
The Numbers
At a $15,000 asking price, the valuation sits at 2.6x profit and 2.5x revenue. Twelve-month revenue stands at $6,000 with $6,000 in profit — effectively 100% margins. Recent monthly performance shows $480 in revenue and $475 in profit.
Investment Advantages
- Established methodologies for supporting autistic children
- Intellectual property included with transfer
- Operational website and active social channels
- Growth potential via strategic marketing and feature expansion
Investment Considerations
The business is currently a solo operation with one person managing all responsibilities. The target demographic is narrow and requires specialised promotion. Prospective buyers should carefully evaluate scaling strategies given the single-person team structure and specialised market focus.
Our Take
This is exactly the kind of acquisition we look for: a functioning product, real revenue, a defensible niche, and clear upside through marketing investment. The 100% profit margins mean every dollar of growth drops straight to the bottom line. The question is not whether the product works — it is whether the next owner can find the audience.
