Hey, Product Hunters!
I’m so excited to share a new version of Microns with you.
It's my second launch here, so don't be afraid to roast.
Three years passed since I presented Microns. In the summer of 2021, I was in Odesa, Ukraine, swimming with my wife.
At that stage, Microns was just a concept with 15 startup listings and around 150 newsletter subscribers — nothing serious.
I launched on the last day of the weekend, and it blew my mind. So many founders liked the project, and we became the #3 Product of the Day.
I remember that day. I was on the bus driving home and replying to every comment on PH. It was a positive sign for me to continue working on the project.
Since then, many things have changed, and Microns has gained much improvement and traction. We have sold over 70 startups worth $300k+.
Based on customer feedback, I’ve added Profiles, Metrics, Chat, Analytics, and other features you asked for.
Microns is fully bootstrapped, so monetization was crucial to keeping the marketplace working. For this reason, I created a Premium membership and Transfer service, and people started paying. It was that magical moment.
You can sell any of your online projects for free. The main requirements are as follows: your project has revenue and is bootstrapped.
To buy a startup, you must have a Premium membership.
If you need help with your transaction and want to feel safe, request our Transfer service.
I'll be here all day, so I'm happy to answer all your questions.
Do you have any suggestions regarding the platform or monetization? I would love your feedback.
Thank you.
@deshraj_singh Thank you, Deshraj. My customers are my investors so it's crucial to listen to them. This way, I can build a better place for all founders around the world.
@sasha_buratynskyi Great question, Oleksandr! At the start, it was cold outreach (social and email). Then, when the platform started getting traction, I used more scalable methods like social media, SEO, and sponsorships. The other very popular channel is word of mouth (many founders who sold their projects share Microns with their friends).
@sweatc congrats on your product hunt launch today! As a fellow maker who also launched today (currently on #2), I know there's lots of effort and work that went into this. So, congratulations!! Hope your are succeeding with your platform!
Upvoted! There's something super appealing about diving into a business that's already got its gears moving, like skipping the assembly line straight to the driving.
I'm definitely keen to know more, though—what's the vetting process like? Because diving in is great and all, but no one wants to belly flop into an empty pool. Assurance that these micro-startups are legit profitable would be a pretty big deal.
@aman_wen Thank you, Aman. We do pre-vetting, which includes checking the website, seller profile, traffic, and revenue metrics, but of course, we can't verify all of the details, so it's important that you do your own due diligence before making any serious commitments.
Congratulations on the launch! 🚀 I've been following the project for a while, so it's awesome to see it on PH. Excited to see how it evolves and develops in the future. Best of luck!
I really like what you have built @sweatc the only thing I miss on the website is a free preview of at least one startup .... I have a different use case, I'm a Marketing Consultant working with different companies ... I would like to find and pitch my clients to acquire info products or micro-saas to grow their LTV
so one of my most important pieces of information is their source traffic, whether they bootstrapped that business in the last 5-10 years or if they had a true growth strategy
@daniel_pirciu Great suggestion, Daniel. I could rework the landing page to show a couple of free listings. In terms, of traffic we require every startup to attach metrics, so buyers with Premium membership can analyse them.
Love your content @sweatc , and the new website looks great!
Some day, when I have time, I'll try to buy a micro SaaS with potential and spin it up :)
Good luck!
Wow, the new site looks great @sweatc 🙌
Connected for a couple of years now, I know you have a great passion for this and consistently keep improving the marketplace for your users. Very inspiring!
Great product! I really like that they allow and focus on publishing small projects, which for a long time seemed like an empty niche.
I have actually published 2 projects on Microns and sold one last year.
Good luck!
This is excellent! Startups are best caught at the point where they can show proof of concept, but their value hasn't skyrocketed yet. This is an excellent tool for highlighting those opportunities. Awesome work!!
