If you're not profitable then given the current state of the economy you're probably barking up the wrong tree. Most of the buying of startups happens in a bull market, so unless you have undeniable potential then there's a large chance that you'll be disappointed. Think of it like this: if you, the founders, want to dump it then why do you think any company would have enough faith to buy you?
I'm a partner in this company. We are profitable and have very little expenses. To really take the product to the next level requires a larger dedication of time and/or resources then we are currently able to commit. A potential acquirer would be able to make that investment. We have essential put the product on the right path and taken it as far as we think we are capable, now it needs attention from someone who can take it a step further.
