Ask HN: Do you have a side project you want to sell?

I created a Kickstarter that made $104,000 . It's a map of all subway maps in the world. The project did really well and attracted the attention of ~25 Media Outlets including Wired Magazine, Gizmodo, FastCompany, Tech Insider, Travel & Leisure, Slate, Curbed, Cool Hunting, and lot more.

However, being a frontend developer that loves coding, I feel like I wasted a great opportunity of building a brand around it. The whole map was an attention grabber with the potential of turning it into multiple products for home, kids and even teenagers.

To the day I still receive a lot of requests to talk about it, people keep buying it around the world and is currently being exhibited in a museum in Beijing.

I would love to sell this to a great Marketing team / Visionary that can build a multi-million brand with it.

(Update: Yes all the IP belong to us because it's a modified version of the original and because we draw the whole thing from scratch.)

I don't know how you got 100k to waste. That project seems like a toy hobby more than anything. I guess people don't really value their money these days. I've seen worse kickstarters.

Also I thought it was cool until I realised it doesn't even remotely have every station in the world, not even close. 214 cities? That's fuck all.

The internet amazes me.
