List a project

Real outcomes

Projects that got a second chance.

Each of these started as someone's abandoned weekend project. They found a buyer, a cofounder, or a new team who picked up where the last person stopped.

The full list

Every revival to date

Not every revival is shown here. When a handover comes with an NDA or a private purchase agreement, the listing stays off the public list.

How a revival happens

Four steps. No middlemen.

  1. 01

    List honestly

    The founder writes a real note about why they're moving on. Burnout, new job, lost interest, moved on to a new prompt. Buyers respect that more than spin.

  2. 02

    Match directly

    Buyers and cofounders email the founder straight from the listing. We don't sit in the middle. Nothing is brokered.

  3. 03

    Agree privately

    Price and terms are between the two of you. We never take a cut. Most deals close in a couple of email threads and one short call.

  4. 04

    Hand it over

    Repo access, domain, customer list, the founder note about what works. The project gets a real second chance with someone who has the time.

Patterns we've seen

What seems to work

Things that show up again and again across the listings that actually find a new home.
