Our goal is to build world’s most founder-friendly startup acquisition marketplace. We help turn founder journeys into success stories.

The hardest part isn’t building the startup. 

It’s staying in the game long enough for it to start working.

Without getting tired and giving up.

Believing when no one else does.

Somehow staying motivated when it gets hard.

Keep going.

You probably won’t regret building a startup.

But you'll probably regret walking away before it gets good.

You’ll fail, learn, rebuild and that’s the game.

Don’t quit before your story gets interesting.

The hardest times build the best founders.

Keep going.

No one is coming to save your startup.

No investor.

No mentor.

No magic growth hack.

It’s on you and that’s the best part.

You got this. Keep going.

2025 has been a big year for us at acquire.com. We have grown revenue, reduced expenses and finally became profitable.

> $6.1 million in revenue, up 24%
> $4.5 million in expenses, down 26%
> Operating profit, up 50.2%
> Total profit, $1.6 million

Absolutely incredible and our best year yet.

It took years of simplifying, tightening focus, and getting smarter about how we operate. No shortcuts. 

Just steady, consistent execution from a small, incredible team.

We’re proof that you can grow by running lean, removing everything that doesn't move the needle, and focusing everything on making your customers successful.

Grateful to every founder, buyer, and seller who’s trusted us along the way. 

Every acquisition we close changes a founder’s life for the better.

I’m proud we get to help entrepreneurs with one of the most important decisions they’ll ever make. 

We’ve helped over 1,000+ founders get acquire’d and I’ve never been more excited to help the next 1,000+.

We’re just getting started!

I get new startup ideas every week. Most founders do. But I’ve learned the best idea is the one I’m already working on.

The one with customers.
The one paying the bills.
The one that just needs more time to compound.

The founders who win aren’t the most creative, they’re the most consistent.

Focus is a superpower.

And it's what turns good ideas into great companies.

Founders don’t get to wait for perfect days. They work tired. They work late. They work when everyone doubts them.

Because they know no one’s coming to save them.

It’s on them to build it.

To push when it’s hard.

To keep going when it seems pointless.

That’s what separates dreamers from doers.

Keep going.

“My startup will be successful when I finish this one last feature.”


No it won’t.

It’ll be successful when you start selling. 

When you start talking to customers. 

When you start charging users.

When you stop hiding behind code and start validating what matters.

Most founders don’t fail because they can’t build. 

They fail because they never launch.

So just ship the damn thing. 

That’s how you win.

One of the best founder skills: getting back up. You’re going to get punched in the face a lot building a startup. All the time.

Lost deals, failed launches, bad hires, cash flow issues.

The best founders focus on how fast they can get back up.

So when you get knocked down, get back up, learn, and improve.

Grit beats talent every time.

Keep going.

Try not to doubt yourself. Every founder rides the rollercoaster.

The wins, the losses, the “this will never work” moments.

Questioning every decision pretty much daily.

That’s the game. It's inevitable. It's part of it all.

You’ll have days you feel unstoppable. 

Days you question everything.

Remember both matter because both help you grow.

So enjoy the ride and keep building.

Everyone loves to talk about ideas but ideas don’t build startups. Sales does. Marketing does. Your team does. Resilience does.

It’s the founder who keeps selling when it’s hard or they're tired.

The team that ships when there's no customers and no users.

The marketer who figures out how to create demand with zero budget.

That’s what builds real companies.

Not the idea but the execution behind it.

Hard times are guaranteed as a founder.

You signed up for them.

When they hit just remember that they’re normal.

So keep working through them.

They’ll pass. 

And one day they’ll make great stories.

You’re not behind. Stop comparing.

Every founder's journey is different.

Some raise millions and scale.

Some build for profitability and freedom.

Both are huge successes.

You're winning if you’re building the life you want.

As a founder some days you’ll wake up ready to crush it. Other days, you won’t want to do anything. That’s part of the deal.

Building a startup literally guarantees hard days.

Rest if you need to. Reset if you have to.

But just don’t quit.

The people who make it are the ones who keep going when it’s the hardest.

Keep going.

Your startup doesn’t need to change the world.

It just needs to make someone’s life noticeably easier.

You don’t have to invent something new.

You just have to fix something that's a headache to do.

That’s where the real opportunity is.

Saadat K.

Being a founder means living and thriving in the space between “I have no idea” and “I’ll figure it out".

It’s okay to not have all the information.

It’s okay to do things you’ve never done before.

That’s literally what building a startup is all about.

Figuring it out along the way.

Keep going.

Some days as a founder it feels like nothing’s working.

You’re just banging your head against the wall.

But give it time. A week, month, year.

Suddenly it clicks and the small wins add up.

It all starts compounding fast.

And it turns out you were further along than you thought.

Keep going.

Sales keeps you alive.

Marketing brings momentum.

Your team keeps you sane.

Grit keeps you going.

That’s what actually builds startups.

My favorite part of running acquire.com is seeing entrepreneurs win.

The founders who bootstrapped through hard months.

The ones who landed their 1st customer.

The ones who just sold their startup and changed their life.

Every win reminds me of why this work matters.

Your startup's early customers matter more than you think.

They shape the product and guide your next steps.

Open the door to bigger customers.

They show you what’s working and what to fix.

They’re the foundation of everything you’ll build next.

Treat them like gold.
