Buy Sell Startups

Browse vetted micro-startups, SaaS tools, and profitable digital businesses. Connect directly with founders — no brokers, no commission.

Buy Sell Startups is a transaction marketplace where founders list businesses they want to exit and buyers discover acquisition targets in one curated feed. Every listing surfaces the numbers that actually matter — MRR, ARR, revenue multiple, traffic — so buyers can size up a deal in under 30 seconds and sellers don't have to chase tire-kickers.

It's built for the long tail of acquisitions Flippa and Empire Flippers ignore: the $5K–$500K range where most indie deals actually happen.

What makes it stand out

1. Curated, not crowded — every listing is reviewed; no fake businesses, no "side project I made yesterday"
2. Numbers-first UX — MRR and revenue multiple are front and center, not buried in PDF prospectuses
3. "Open to offers" pricing — sellers who don't know what to ask can let buyers name a price (rare in this space)
4. End-to-end transaction flow — listing → LOI → messaging → close, all in-platform with structured offers
5. Built for indie scale — Flippa is loud, Empire Flippers is gated to $100K+, MicroAcquire has noise; Buy Sell Startups is calm, transparent, and priced for deals that actually close
