BuyMicroStartups

BuyMicroStartups is a marketplace for buying and selling micro-startups — the small, profitable projects that fall below the radar of traditional brokers and enterprise M&A platforms. It is built for indie hackers, solo founders, and developers who want to acquire or exit a business without middlemen, commissions, or six-figure minimums.

Most acquisition platforms are built for deals that don't look like these. They charge commissions, hide listings behind subscriptions, and drown a $5K sale in the same paperwork as a $5M one. A founder who built a $2K MRR SaaS on the side, a Chrome extension with a few thousand users, or a content site earning ad revenue has nowhere sensible to sell it. BuyMicroStartups exists for exactly those deals.

The core of the platform is verified revenue. Sellers connect their Stripe account through a read-only integration, and the platform reads aggregate trailing-30-day revenue and normalized monthly recurring revenue directly from the source. Listings that pass this check carry a "Revenue Verified" badge, so buyers see figures pulled from the bank rather than numbers typed into a form. It is the difference between "trust me" and "here are the receipts." Nothing about the connection lets the platform move money, issue refunds, or read raw transaction history, and sellers can disconnect at any time.

Every listing is fully public. There is no buyer paywall and no subscription required to browse — you can read revenue, profit, asking price, multiples, and the full business breakdown for free, and only sign up when you're ready to contact a seller. Listings lead with numbers in clean monospace type, not marketing screenshots, so comparing opportunities is fast and honest.

For sellers, the model is deliberately simple: a one-time listing fee starting at $19, with no recurring charges and no commission on the completed deal. You keep 100% of the sale price. Listings are reviewed automatically for spam, fraud, and quality — clean listings go live instantly, and only genuine edge cases get flagged for manual review, so there's no multi-day approval queue.

Buyers use BuyMicroStartups to skip the zero-to-one phase and acquire something with existing revenue, build a portfolio of micro-SaaS products, or pick up a side income stream. Sellers use it to exit a project they no longer maintain, free up time for a new venture, or turn a dormant asset into cash.

It is not a broker, not an enterprise acquisition suite, and not a directory of unverified listings. It is a focused, transparent marketplace for micro-acquisitions — real revenue, real numbers, no middleman.
