4 years ago I noticed that many founders who built some cool projects tried to sell it on twitter or shut down the app. I figured out that some tweets got popular and decided to build a site where those founders can find a new owner for their side projects without hustling on twitter or other places. That's how microns was born and till this time I'm improving it to help more founders exit their profitable small apps. Would love any feedback from HN community.


Hey, Hacker News folks!

I'm Ilya, a founder from Ukraine. I started a micro-startup acquisition marketplace called Microns in 2021.

In two years, I grew the project to 6,000 newsletter subscribers, $40k revenue, and $180k GMV (sold startups)! No investments, completely bootstrapped.

Feel free to ask me anything.


Great site!


Awesome list!

Do you know about Microns?(https://microns.io)


Hey Chris, please don't kill the project. Instead, give it a chance to live by selling to another founder willing to take on SSLPing.

I'd be happy to help you find this person through my site called Microns(https://www.microns.io).

I have an audience of entrepreneurs and founders who will like your project. Just let me know if you would like to be featured.


Thank you so much
