Business Idea:
An online marketplace connecting developers with abandoned MVPs to entrepreneurs and startups, enabling the purchase and resale of pre-built, halfway-developed projects to accelerate startup launches.
Problem:
Many indie hackers and SaaS creators abandon promising MVPs due to time, funding, or niche misfit, leaving valuable projects unused and wasted, while entrepreneurs seek quick-start solutions.
Solution:
A platform where developers can list their unused MVPs for sale, and entrepreneurs can browse, bid, and purchase these projects, saving time and effort in building from scratch.
Target Audience:
Independent developers with unfinished or abandoned MVPs, startup founders, product teams, and entrepreneurs looking for ready-made tech foundations.
Monetization:
Transaction fees or commissions on sales, premium listing options for developers, and potential subscription plans for premium buyers or sellers.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP):
A niche marketplace specifically for halfway-built MVPs, facilitating seamless buying and selling, and empowering developers to monetize stagnant projects while offering startups faster startup routes.
Launch Strategy:
Start with a minimum viable marketplace platform for early adopters, gather user feedback, and implement marketing targeting developer and startup communities through Reddit, Twitter, and Hacker News to attract initial users.
