How to sell your side-project/startup?

2 points by anmolparashar ↗ HN
Hey guys,

A lot of times makers/founders want to sell their business, but don't really know how to do it without later regretting it. Sometimes it's because they sell it to the wrong person (someone who's just looking to resell it in a few months) and sometimes it's because they feel like they didn't sell it for a good enough price (mostly happens when they accept the first offer as soon as they hear it). There are a few marketplaces to help facilitate this process for the founders, but honestly most of them care only about making a sale, mostly because they get a cut.

I started Soochi [1] to solve this exact problem: Help founders sell their projects/startups without having them regret it later. At the risk of not stretching this post to a blog post's length, I'll just link this Medium post [2] I wrote introducing Soochi, and explaining how I see things working with Soochi.

I am really hoping Soochi succeeds at solving the issues makers/founder currently face with the current options, and would love to hear any feedback, or answer any questions that you may have about the site.

This is soochi advertising disguised as question. Can you add the company name to the title like in previous submissions? (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15621579)
The post you linked to was a Show HN post. This is a discussion posts for people to share similar stories, or give feedback on Soochi.

I could have easily deleted the previous post, and do a Show HN again, but I didn't because that'd be spamming. Please understand that HN is a community where people can discuss anything related to tech. This post doesn't violate any HN rules

It's ok to submit your own stuff here, but if you ask questions where (one of) the answer is your product, many people will feel that it's a disguised ad.
