MicroAcquire — A free & anonymous startup acquisition marketplace

Hey Hunters, excited to share MicroAcquire! After having two startups acquired, I decided to help other bootstrapped founders build the right relationships to take their entrepreneurial career to the next level. The result is MicroAcquire! My goal is to help bootstrapped startups start conversations that lead to an acquisition. Completely free. Simple as that. Connect your key metrics via ChartMogul, Recurly, Stripe, Baremetrics, or PayPal and get eyes on your startup instantly. Skip the headaches and get straight to the conversation. For startups: https://microacquire.com/sellers/ For buyers: https://microacquire.com/buyers/ Also, I made MicroAcquire for fun as a side project. I even have MicroAcquire for sale within the marketplace. Take that business world! :) Feedback welcomed! Thanks everyone!

I listed my SaaS A few weeks ago and was approved by Andrew in just a few hours. I’ve received eight connections from potential buyers and have talked to three of them. There’s definitely some interest very quickly and I attribute all of this to MicroAcquire.

Finally, someone built this tool!!! the MicroAcquire platform mad it super simple to connect us with buyers and sellers, cutting out the intermediary broker (whose incentives aren't always). Oh; and the fact Andrew made this open to the community for free, is incredibly #baller.

Great product. I've listed my product a few days ago and several potential buyers already contacted me.

This seems like a nice product, I am waiting for verification. In the mean time, please allow me to be critical of the onboarding process which, I believe, needs to be rethought: - I need to see some material before I signup as a buyer, at least be able to search your database without the startup names shown. - This applies as well for a seller because as a seller of anything (my fridge, bike, car, startup), the first thing I’ll do is look at the current market - Which leads to the choice you offer with only two options (I’m a buyer / I’m a seller), this needs to go away as this will create issues in your project down the line because you’ll have a people register twice as both. - This is very unusual nowadays to see manual validation. You could also validate automatically by default and restrain the user from doing certain things and when a user is manually validated by you he has full access. - Last but not least, it seems I am forced to give my personal information before I can do anything (I’m a buyer), this is a big no for me, I don’t want to give you qualified personal data so easily, for all I know you could be a spammer, and now you’d have my full name, email, LinkedIn profile, linked to a qualified lead as a “startup investor” of some sort. So I just think it’s too early in the process to ask personal data. Please take this as critical feedback, I’d like to see MicroAcquire succeed! Good luck :)

Listed a product a few weeks ago for sale and got lot's of interest. Decided against selling but it's really nice to know this is a easy and straightforward process to find buyers.

This looks great, but as a seller, I can't understand all the questions. Some simple tooltips would really help. Until then, I can't complete my submission.

I think this is a great idea! Also love the clean layout of the site. What differentiates you from other site selling/buying marketplaces like Flippa, Empire Flippers or the many brokerages?

very important solution. free is always cool! what is your monetization model?

This is great. I have seen other marketplaces that get filled with dropshipping/affiliate marketing sites. I hope the manual verificiation can keep the focus clean.

MicroAcquire is one of the best side project selling tools I've come across. It's very well designed and a breeze to list projects. Andrew is super helpful and responsive. I recommend checking it out - I'll always list my projects here.

Looks promising. "You won't see the list with start-ups until your Admin approves your profile." This message is not clear to me. Is it referring to site admin?

Seems this service is just harvesting emails from potential buyers. There's no marketplace from which to view startups for sale. A bit questionable. Will stay with established markets like Flippa for now.

If this product does what you show then I'm thrilled. But at this point I'm just waiting to be verified 🤦‍♂️

@andrewgazdecki congrats on your launch, signing up as a buyer. Just a heads up, the email confirmation email went to junk (might want to check your SPF, DKMI, etc. settings)

Very cool and seems like something that could be extended to other industries; what did you build with?

Been thinking about a similar platform to help sell/acquire side projects and so glad you built this, Andrew!! Excited to check it out.

Awesome idea!

This is absolutely a brilliant idea Andrew. I have a question for you my friend buys 6, 7 and 8 figure companies and think this could be a good fit. WIll you incorporate a referral network into this? ?makers

MicroAcquire is one of the only sites I would endorse for buying/selling companies/products. I love what Andrew did with Bizness Apps and a huge fan of MicroAcquire's simplicity and UX. I joined a few weeks ago and already in discussions with a couple of potential acquisition deals. Love the product so far!
