Why I built this
Over the past five years, I built and sold multiple different micro-startups. SaaS tools, browser extensions, small newsletters — the kind of projects that make $200–$5K a month and don't fit neatly into any broker's portfolio.
Every time I wanted to sell, the same problem: existing marketplaces are designed for six-figure acquisitions. They want commissions, lengthy due diligence, broker calls. For a side project making $500/month, none of that makes sense.
So I built BuyMicroStartups — a place where indie founders can list a project in minutes, verify their revenue through Stripe, and let buyers reach out directly. No middlemen, no huge commission, no approval queue. Just transparent listings with real numbers.
