How the Marketplace works

Verified startups.
Direct deals. No commission.

Founders list startups with proven revenue. Buyers talk to them directly. We verify, we connect, and we stay out of the deal.

Publication rules

Nothing goes public without proof.

An app that is not fully verified stays a private draft in your account. Disconnecting your revenue takes the listing off the Marketplace until it is verified again.

Ranking

The numbers decide, not the budget.

↑The numbers decide the rank. Listings are ranked by verified MRR, or by the sort the buyer picks. There is no paid ranking.

✦Sponsoring never moves a rank. Sponsor cards live in the side columns and the mobile strip, never in the ranking.

◷Numbers stay fresh. Each listing shows its revenue provider and the date of the last sync.

Sponsoring

Optional visibility, fixed price.

Design a one-line card with your color and preview it live. Your card holds a fixed place in the sponsor columns for the whole campaign. It starts once Stripe confirms the payment, and you follow impressions and clicks in your account.

Privacy and trust

Your data stays yours.

Only totals are public
MRR, growth and history. Never customers or invoices.
Anonymous if you want
Name, domain and logo stay hidden until you reveal them to one buyer.
Private conversations
Only the buyer and the founder read them.
Sold means sold
Marking an app as sold takes it off the Marketplace.

Before you pay anyone, ask for a screen share of the revenue dashboard, check the domain and account transfers, and never share passwords in the chat.
