What is your store actually worth?
A lot more than you think, if the numbers are proven. That is the entire gap Kairos exists to close.
Average profit multiple for an unverified listing on the open market (Flippa, 2025 actuals).
Average SDE multiple for a verified listing - vetted marketplace data. Shopify DTC stores in premium categories see 3.0-4.5x.
What a strong, verified brand with clean data and real growth can reach.
Why verification moves your multiple
Buyers pay more for a story they can check. When we connect to your real Shopify orders and ad spend - not just the numbers you typed into a listing form - a buyer can trust them the same day, instead of spending weeks trying to catch you out. Vetted, verified listings close at up to 84% of the time. The open market, with no real checking, closes only 20-30% of the time. Verification is not a badge - it is the reason a buyer says yes.
