Ask HN: Can startups get bought out without users?

1 pointsby jetbeaualmost 9 years ago
My friend has a startup. It&#x27;s a bill splitting app for share houses and they charge a fee for it.<p>Terrible idea IMO - people who live in share houses do it to save money not spend extra on a fancy calculator.<p>That aside, they have no users and aren&#x27;t actively trying to get any.<p>He is trying to pursue someone to buy the app instead.<p>Am I crazy in thinking that it is pointless in doing what he is doing without any users or proven traction?
