Love the project! Looking forward to acquiring a dead project.

Damm!

Can it really be sold in 30 days?

Good side-project will be sold. Others may take longer

But who wants to buy a pre-revenue or dead side-project?
falak-sher
If its a solid built, you can find many buyers.

Here is my story: I built a side-project and soft launched it on Twitter. A person reached to me to buy it. But I said no

I’ve bought several dead or pre revenue properties from folks who threw in the towel, worked with trusted contractors to turn them around (who I issue equity to for their work), and have assembled them into a small portfolio that throws off cashflow. One person’s failure is another person’s undervalued asset.

One person's dust is another's goldmine.

Would love to connect with you @falakdigital on Twitter

Do you have a website with the portfolio?
nramanand
How do you find them? Are dead projects even advertised?

If the price is right...

I think experienced marketers/sales will see it through. Lots of dead poor-marketing/sale products.

Website isn't loading for me.
falak-sher
Idk why its causing this. Checking SSL certificate now

muttantt
fitting that a site selling dead projects is also dead
falak-sher
There was a redirect issue... removed it. Now its working

This looks really interesting! Now i can sell all those side projects that I never marketed

How do you compare it with microacquire?
falak-sher
Microacquire is for SaaS an projects having 500+ MRR.

It's for dead and pre-revenue side projects

Existenceblinks
Hope it takes off and show us some numbers.

If it doesn't take off, where would you sell it?

Great way to boost the efficiency of the internet economy. So many businesses / side projects with potential get abandoned too early IMO. This gives more of them a chance at a second life. Nice idea Falak

There is also sideprojectors.com but not sure if they allow to post pre-revenue or dead side projects.
