Andrew Gazdecki built MicroAcquire to let startup founders sell directly to buyers without brokers or fees. The platform connects sellers with qualified acquirers, cutting out middlemen and their commissions. Gazdecki walks through how to use it and shares real exits from founders who sold through the site.
How's it going? My name is Andrew Gazdecki, founder of Microacquire, and I thought I'd just walk you through, you know, why I made Microacquire. And if you're a founder or you have a startup or a SaaS application that you're looking to sell, just how does Microcquire work? How can we actually help you find buyers? So to introduce myself, my name is Andrew Gazdecki. I've been fortunate enough to build and sell two different companies. So really, Microacquire was built out of just what I had to go through, selling two of my companies, not having a clue about how to meet buyers without hiring an expensive banker or a broker that can take 10%. So I really built Microacquire as a way for founders to avoid this, which is selling your startup and spending a lot of time not meeting qualified buyers, paying a broker or an investment bank a huge commission fee, then distracting you from your business and just being a confusing process. So Microacquire's goal is to help more startups get acquired by streamlining that whole process. So the easy way with Microacquire instead of all that other stuff that I just showed you, is Microacquire connects you with directly 10,000 potential buyers completely free in minutes. You literally create a profile, I ask you some questions, we usually set up some sort of phone call, and you're live in the marketplace where you can begin meeting potential buyers. And we're trusted by thousands of entrepreneurs all across the globe. So about 10,000 active buyers are in the network. We were named number one product of the day on Product Hunt. I've actually done about 25 million in total deal volumes and again, I make zero off that. This is completely free. You know, in transparency, maybe I'll think of a way to monetize this in the future, but right now I'm just looking to give entrepreneurs one of the best resources to sell their startup and keep 10% without paying it to a broker or banker. So that's my goal, is to help founders get acquired. And there's a number of qualified buyers within Microacquire that if you built something awesome, you could have some options pretty quickly. And number of different happy stories of founders getting acquired. This is one where this awesome individual, Derek, he was acquired within 30 days. Nicholas right here had over 50 plus serious buyers reach out to him and his company was acquired as well. There's just a number of these stories where again, there are people interested in buying SaaS companies and we Bring those buyers to you completely free. And so you might be thinking, how do I get started? This seems kind of cool. I'd like to check it out. Well, you can start by signing up as a seller and completing your startup profile. Now, when that comes in, I look at it, I help adjust it, make sure it's presented well for potential buyers. I'll ask you for things like if you have a P and L, that's amazing. If you need to create a presentation deck, I can help you with that as well. Again, completely free. So I hope fill in any missing details so you're positioned well to buyers and you kind of have all the information that a buyer would need to actually make an offer on your company. And then you go live on Microquire and from there you can approve or deny which potential sellers that you want to give access to. So you're not listing your startup publicly to the world, like at Craigslist. It's a private, anonymous network and any buyer that you give access to, your startup name, contact, email, let's say your pnow, you have to approve. So you have full control over who approve and deny. And this is all without really any commitments. You can sell, you cannot sell. But the idea here is I'm helping you. If you're interested, meet with potential buyers and if you have any questions, feel free to shoot me an email. Andrew Yazdecki andrewicroacquire.com you can go on the chat in the bottom right. I'm usually always online helping founders or if you'd like to just set up a call and learn a little bit more, I can walk you through the platform and see if I can help. Cheers.
