How selling your startup works

A simple 3-step flow designed for busy founders who want a clean, fast exit.

1. Create your listing

Describe your startup, MRR, customers, tech stack, and the story behind it. You can save as draft and refine the pitch before going live.

2. Pay the $7.99 anti-spam fee

A small one-time fee keeps low-effort and fake listings out. We review manually to make sure buyers see only real, meaningful projects.

3. Talk to buyers & close the deal

Interested buyers message you privately inside AcquireDesk. Share extra metrics, negotiate the terms, and handle payments and transfer directly with them. We never take a cut.

List your startup for $7.99

One payment, lifetime exposure of your listing – until you sell or close it.

For buyers & acquirers

Discover under-priced, cash-flowing projects or promising early-stage apps before the crowd.

Smart filters for serious buyers

Filter by MRR, niche, business model, tech stack, asking price, and growth profile. Quickly surface the projects that match your acquisition thesis instead of browsing endless noise.

Private messaging & due diligence

Reach out through our private messaging system, ask for additional analytics, request screen recordings, or propose structures like earn-outs. Keep everything in one secure channel with the seller.

Access private listings

Some founders prefer to keep key details hidden from the public. With private listings, you request access first, then unlock metrics if the seller approves you as a serious buyer.

Made for indie acquisitions

AcquireDesk is built for micro-PE, indie investors, agencies, and founders buying their next product. Clear listings, real revenue numbers, and no platform commissions on the final deal.

Why a $7.99 listing fee and 0% commission?

The fee exists purely to keep the marketplace clean. If someone is not willing to invest the price of a coffee in their listing, they are probably not serious about selling their project.

In return, AcquireDesk never takes a percentage of your exit. Whether you sell for $2,000 or $200,000, the platform fee stays the same: $7.99 once.

That makes AcquireDesk transparent, founder-friendly, and aligned with both sides: we win when good deals happen, not when we squeeze extra fees out of you.

In short:
  • Flat $7.99 per listing – no recurring charges, no surprise upsells.
  • Zero commission on the sale price – keep everything you negotiate.
  • Fewer spam listings, more serious founders and qualified buyers.
  • Ideal for side projects, micro-SaaS, small agencies, and niche tools.
