Business Idea:
A dynamic marketplace connecting creators and entrepreneurs to buy and sell abandoned software projects, helping developers monetize their work and breathe new life into unused code.
Problem:
Many developers leave their projects unfinished or abandoned, letting their hard work go to waste. At the same time, entrepreneurs or startups struggle to find ready-made software ideas or MVPs, leading to wasted time and effort.
Solution:
Ghosted Projects provides a platform where developers can list their abandoned projects for sale, and interested buyers can discover, acquire, and further develop these software assets quickly, saving time and resource investment.
Target Audience:
Independent developers, side project creators, startups, and entrepreneurs seeking ready-made or near-complete software solutions. Also, investors interested in software assets.
Monetization:
The platform earns through listing fees, transaction commissions, and premium features like project promotion or developer memberships.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
A niche marketplace dedicated solely to abandoned projects, enabling developers to monetize dormant code and buyers to find unique, pre-built ideas — a win-win that’s different from traditional project marketplaces.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a simple MVP allowing users to list and browse projects. Promote on developer communities and build partnerships, then gather feedback, improve features, and expand the marketplace gradually.
