Two years ago we bought our first SaaS business, FirstOfficer. The deal took 8 months to complete and should have only taken 1 month. Here's how what we're doing is different. First, we're 100% free for both Buyers & Sellers. There's no premium subscription required to contact our sellers. Sign up, and connect. Our mission is to help founders get the most for their startups. And we've been building a ton of features for over a year to support that. - Our modern marketplace helps you put your best foot forward. - OpenAI helps get your professional listing to market in minutes. - FirstOfficer powers GetAcquired's metrics and charts. Connect and done. - Every sellers has access to 2 years worth of listing data directly in our listing editor to help them set and support their valuation. - Lastly, we've created an Advisor Marketplace to help founders build their deal team. We vette every applicant to ensure the highest quality of advisor. Connect with Brokers, Finance & Lawyers (and soon Lenders). This is just the start for us. We've got exciting new products and features under development. If you're a buyer, join up for free and check out our listings! If you're a seller, everything is private. There's no exclusivity clause. We want you to sell, and we want you to get what your startup is worth.
Сongrats on the launch! 🚀

Thanks Aleks!
The startup sales marketplace is so hot right now. If it's 100% free for buyers and sellers, how do you make money?
I'm guessing they take a cut of the deal instead of charging a subscription.
Maker
Sorry guys, I’d replied to this one already in a different thread and assumed you saw it. Anyone can sell for free, but for those that want help selling we work off a 2% success fee. Totally optional though.
Congrats on the launch. There is never enough good marketplaces. My question is more business related. How do you plan to make money?
Maker
We actually offer sellers optional deal support for 2%. Anyone can sell for free, but if they want our help we’re here for that.
Congrats on the launch, Looking forward to launch our product on your marketplace
Maker
Awesome! Let me know if you need any help
Congrats on the launch! Alternative usecase when enough startups are on the platform is using it as a research tool as well! :) Food for thought.
Maker
Agreed! We are hoping to create a community where founders can help each other out.
I really like this idea and hope it takes off. Do you have any examples of testimonials from founders who have successfully closed a deal on your platform? Also: for those seeking a valuation, how is the data that is submitted secured? Are you selling the data people provide to you in any capacity?
Maker
Glad you asked :) We helped Ring4 get acquired few months back and you can find the announcement here - . We are also working on a testimonial with Alex on his experience.
Sounds good, would you mind answering my second question regarding data security/privacy?
Maker
sorry missed your second question. No we don't sell the data to anyone. As part of the process, if you choose, we use the data to auto create a draft listing for you and that's about it.
Congrats on the launch! Good idea, clear design. Great job.
Maker
Much appreciate!
Congrats on the launch! I've known Mark for many years in startupland and he's grown to be a close mentor/friend over the years as we've become leaders in YYJ. Mark & Ajay have been working together on projects and have that classic co-founder relationship that we all look for. Look forward to being a fan of GetAcquired for years to come!
Interesting, I've seen other similar companies now in the same space.
Great idea. I just tried to create a listing for my startup and your platform says the URL is invalid. seems your regex pattern (if that's how you validate) marks TLD like online, cloud as invalid :(

Thanks for the heads up! We’re on it

Hi there, thanks for the heads up. The issue should now be fixed.
Site doesn't work for me on Firefox 92.0.1. Works on Chrome
Maker
Ya… we’ve had a bit of struggle with FF this last week :( Sorry about that
Maker
Looks like FF doesn't like gzip compression for our js assets. We fixed it now. Thanks for the heads up.
