SaaS, apps, online stores, newsletters and content sites, priced up to $1M. Send me the link and a few numbers, and you'll get a straight answer, yes or no.
Takes about two minutes. What you send stays private. Not sure what it's worth? Get a rough range.
You'll know in a minute whether it's worth sending. If you're not sure, send it anyway.
Sales you can show in Stripe, Shopify, the App Store or similar. Ideally a year or more of history.
SaaS, mobile apps, online stores, newsletters, content and affiliate sites.
The code, domain and accounts are yours to transfer.
Small businesses are the whole point. Very small is fine too.
Usually not a fit: pre-revenue projects, businesses that are really one person (your face, your consulting), and regulated areas like gambling, medical or crypto custody.
Four steps. You can stop at any of them, and nothing is final until we both sign.
The link, your monthly revenue and what you'd like for it. Rough numbers are fine.
If it looks like a fit, we sign a mutual NDA and I ask for view-only access to your payment provider. Never passwords.
For some deals, I pay you a fee to run the business for about 30 days, at a price we agree on before it starts.
The money sits with an escrow service, or your marketplace's own, and is released once the handover is done.
Handing your business to a buyer you just met is a big step. The trial lets you watch how I run it before anything is final.
Hi, I'm Thomas Cloarec.
My company is backed by Y Combinator. We build and run internet businesses, and a lot of the daily work is done by AI we built ourselves. Now I'm buying a few small businesses to run the same way.
This part is new, so there's no list of past deals here yet. That's one reason the 30-day trial exists: you can see how we run your business before you decide anything.
I read what you send and I sign every deal myself.
Anything else, write to hello@acquiredbythomas.com.
My company, HireThomas, Inc., a Delaware corporation. I sign the agreements myself.
My company does. A lot of the daily work is done by AI we built, which is how we can take on small businesses that bigger buyers skip.
Just what's in the form. If it looks like a fit, we sign a mutual NDA, then I ask for view-only access to your payment provider, like a Stripe "View only" role (here's how, for each provider). Logins only change hands at closing.
Send the listing link. I'll get in touch through that marketplace, and the deal closes through its escrow, the way its rules ask.
A small percentage of the price, agreed in writing before the trial starts. It depends on the size of the deal.
Yes. Only my team reads it, we don't share it or add you to any list, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
Rough is fine. You'll get a reply either way, and nothing you send is shared.
