This week, the team analyzes a high-flying luxury executive networking platform seeking $25M for a business doing $6.4M in cash flow on $8.9M in revenue—all built since 2023. With tiered memberships ranging from $3,750 to $30,000, and claims of 62% net margins and explosive 6X growth projections, the deal promises plenty—but also raises some eyebrows.

Key Highlights:
- Asking price: $25M, Cash Flow: $6.4M, Revenue: $8.9M
- Founded in 2023 with only 4 employees
- Explosive growth claims: 6X revenue by 2025
- Tiered memberships: $3,750–$30,000 annually
- Major churn/transition risk and potential dependence on influencer/celebrity appeal
