About this collection
Listings in this collection report 80 percent or more build completion. That means the deploy works, the core flows run end to end, and what is left is closer to a launch checklist than a rebuild. These are the closest projects to launch ready in our marketplace.
What is typically still open: privacy policy, payment edge cases, mobile polish, a few stubborn bugs the founder ran out of patience for. Some listings include a written list of what the founder thinks is left. Always inspect before buying.
Because they are closer to launch, near complete listings tend to price higher than fresh prototypes. They are still a fraction of building from scratch. Most close in two to four weeks once the right buyer finds them.

Before you buy
What to look for
The five checks that separate a great listing from a regret. Run through them before any wire transfer goes out.
- 01
Inspect the founder's launch checklist
Listings near 100 percent should include what is still left. Read it. The remaining 20 percent is usually a mix of legal copy, payment polish, and a handful of edge case bugs.
- 02
Test payment flows end to end
If money moves through the app, run a real test transaction. Refund flows are where AI-built apps tend to skip steps.
- 03
Check for production-ready basics
Error tracking, basic monitoring, backups, password reset email. Near complete projects often skip these because the founder ran out of steam.
- 04
Verify the deploy environment
Production environment variables, secret keys, database backups. Confirm the handoff includes everything you need to keep the deploy alive.
- 05
Ask what is the smallest thing that would launch it
A useful prompt for the founder. Their answer tells you what the real launch blocker was, which is often softer than the technical state suggests.
After you buy
How to take it over
The hardest middle is already done. Four steps to turn a dormant repo into something live again.
- Step 01
Read the founder's launch list
If the listing includes a launch checklist, that is your sprint plan. Walk through it line by line with the founder before paying.
- Step 02
Knock out the legal and policy items
Privacy policy, terms of service, cookie banner. Templated, fast, and usually the cheapest way to move the project from "almost shipped" to "actually shipped".
- Step 03
Polish the payment and refund flows
If users will pay, every payment edge case matters. Test successful payments, declined payments, refunds, subscription cancellations. AI-built apps often skip the unhappy paths.
- Step 04
Pick a public launch date
Near complete listings rarely need more than two weeks. Set a date, work backward, and put a real product in front of real users.
FAQ
Common questions
- What does "80 percent complete" actually mean on Failedups?
- Self-reported by the founder. We ask them to mark completion based on how close the project is to a launchable state, not how many features are wired. Treat the number as a starting point and verify by clicking through the deploy yourself.
- What is typically left on a near complete project?
- Privacy policy and terms of service. Payment edge cases like refunds and failed cards. Mobile polish. A few stubborn bugs the founder ran out of patience for. Sometimes basic monitoring or error tracking. The launch list, in other words.
- Can I launch a near complete project within a week of buying?
- Often yes. Listings in this collection are the closest to launch ready in the marketplace. With a focused week and an AI agent helping, most clear the remaining checklist and put a real product in front of users.
- Are near complete projects more expensive than fresh prototypes?
- Usually yes. Higher completion typically means a higher asking price because the buyer's lift is smaller. They are still well below the cost of building the project from zero, especially compared to engineering time at any meaningful rate.
- Why did the founder not finish if it is that close?
- The hardest 20 percent is often the least fun. Privacy policy, payment edge cases, and stubborn bugs that the AI did not get right on the first or second pass. Founders who are excited about the next project often run out of patience right at the finish line.
- Should I buy a near complete project or start from scratch?
- Depends on your time and the project. Buying near complete saves the hardest middle and gives you a real launch in days instead of months. Building from scratch lets you make every architectural decision yourself. If your time is more valuable than your need to design from zero, buy.
Got a near launch project that has stalled?
If yours is 80 percent or more done, this is where buyers come looking. Listing costs a one-time $5 fee and you keep the full sale.
