Acquire.com is an online marketplace where founders sell their startups and buyers look for businesses to acquire. Andrew Gazdecki started it in 2020 as MicroAcquire and renamed it Acquire.com in January 2023.
What it is
Sellers list a business and buyers browse listings and contact them, with the aim of making small and midsize online acquisitions easier. In 2025, according to a third party profile, it widened its scope from software to all profitable online businesses. See Acquisition entrepreneurship.
History
Gazdecki said he was inspired by his own experience of selling a company, after which about ten founder friends asked him how the process worked. The company dropped the word micro in 2023 because, he said, it made some founders believe the platform was too small for them. The rename was announced on 5 January 2023.
A smartbranding article, citing Crunchbase, reports a total of 11.3 million dollars raised over two rounds and more than 150,000 entrepreneurs on the platform at that time. The YesPress profile of Gazdecki adds a 6.4 million dollar investment from Bessemer Venture Partners in 2021, and cites 2,000 or more founder exits and more than 500 million dollars in closed deals as of 2024. These figures come from third party profiles.
Why it matters to founders
Acquire.com made buying and selling small online companies more visible, and it is one of the places where buyers look for businesses. See Acquisition entrepreneurship.
