I’ve had an offer come in from a high-net-worth individual who wants to buy my website — a superyacht job board platform.
But, like a lot of creatives, I’m not exactly a business mastermind. I’m a designer, an inventor, an engineer, a builder… but I’m not an accountant, and I’m definitely not a “business guru,” and that’s why I’m in the situation I’m in now.
On my own, with a small team of contractors, I’ve built Crewin.com - a superyacht job board platform with 10,000 signed-up crew members. We’ve never done any real marketing until this week, and where our cost-per-click is €0.03, and we had around 110 more sign ups from £35 spend on ad.
We only started charging for listings 12 months ago, so there’s not much on the books before that. It’s taken me 3.5 years to build the platform up to what it is now. In that time, we’ve taken about €8,000 in revenue and achieved: • Retention Rate: 73% • Churn Rate: 27%
To put it in perspective: We already have around 10% of the candidate numbers compared to the industry’s biggest player — and they have 15+ full-time staff and huge overheads.
The Situation: They (the buyer’s team) want something to present to the “boss” by 3rd May. I need help pulling together the key info I have into something presentable, sharp, and compelling.
Someone who can see the potential here:
A superyacht job board platform that’s already got 10,000+ crew, growing daily without fail, and barely scratched the surface on marketing.
1. Take all the raw stats and info I have and organise it into a clean, professional overview — showing growth rates, how much it costs to get users, retention/churn rates, and how the revenue’s picking up.
2. Build some simple but strong charts and tables to really show the strength of the platform — user growth, payments coming in, and the opportunity that’s sitting there.
3. Write it up properly, telling the story the right way — making it clear that Crewin.com is a high-potential, low-overhead, growth-ready business that’s already working and just needs scale.
4. Put everything together in a clean, smart format that’s ready to show to investors — and I need it done by May 3rd.
I need someone who knows how to make numbers tell a story, and who understands how to frame a start-up’s potential properly for high-net-worth buyers.
If this sounds like you, let’s chat. I can send over all the stats and background info to get started.
If you know what you’re doing and can move fast with me this week — let’s chat!
