AI startup sale prices
A sale price is a clean-looking number with a messy context. It may be a confirmed cash deal, an auction result, a founder's announcement, a marketplace report, or a price repeated by a secondary database. This roundup puts those records together while keeping the evidence label and note beside the amount. It is a list of reported sale prices, not a claim that every private transaction has been independently checked.
The selected records run from Base44's reported $80M cash acquisition to a $2,223 price for VBA Code Generator. The set also includes Vectal at a reported $1.8M, Living Architecture: Casa Batllo at a public-record $1.38M auction result, PhotoSolve at $575k, and Edmond de Belamy at a public-record $432,500 auction price. The spread is useful because it shows that an AI product exit can mean a software acquisition, an API, a consumer app, an artwork, or a focused utility.
The notes prevent false precision. Base44's note says $25M of the $80M deal was employee retention bonuses. ChatNode is reported as above $200,000, so its figure is a floor. SocialKit has an attribution conflict between the testimonial and the startup page. Several prices come from founder posts or exit databases with no contract, escrow record, or buyer paperwork shown. Those are still leads for research, but they should not be treated like the public auction records or the reported Wix-confirmed deal.
If you are studying exits, compare more than the price. Look at the product, the maker, the evidence, and the source. Ask whether the amount is cash, whether earn-outs or retention terms are included, whether the product had revenue, and whether the source is primary. This page sorts the 24 matching sold receipts by approximate USD value. Every product links to its full receipt, where the original wording and limitations remain visible.
Key takeaways
- A reported sale price is not automatically a verified cash receipt.
- The set includes software acquisitions, APIs, utilities, and AI artworks.
- Public records and auction results carry a different evidence label from maker claims.
- Some amounts are floors, estimates, or secondary-database reports.
- Read deal terms and source quality before using a sale price as a benchmark.
