On the day of release, the website and web app became #1 on Product Hunt
MicroAcquire is a startup acquisition marketplace. Simply put, it’s a product that helps startups find buyers. During our collaboration, we made the product from scratch creating a web application that connects startup sellers with potential buyers. Following the web app, we made a website to present the product with all its benefits to the world. We used such technologies as React, MobX, GSAP, Firebase and Lottie.


“All you need to do is clearly articulate your goal and let them run with it.” Andrew Gazdecki
Andrew Gazdecki, founder of MicroAqcuire, came to us with a loose idea that was sketched out. He explained that having sold two businesses he realized how much expense and effort goes into being acquired. And yet thousands of founders embark on these laborious acquisitions every year. It was time to solve this problem with an innovative product. Andrew gave us his vision of the end result, said no to any micromanagement and let us do what we're best at.


Full-cycle product development with a brilliant result
We got down to business right away, designed & prototyped the future product, built the frontend, backend, the marketplace, and everything involved. The result is a single, convenient marketplace where people can do business without the rigmarole, cutting out the middlemen and red tape. No brokers, no fees, no hassle. On top of that, MicroAcquire is the only platform that connects startup buyers and sellers anonymously. It is a great feature because it helps startups avoid being destroyed by the news that they are up for sale.
