For owners

Own Tiny Startups? List it for sale.

Founders read this page looking for a business to build like your $3K+/mo one — some would rather buy one that already works. They skip the line, you get a clean exit. $25 one-time, no commission.

Why it works

Value proposition
Founders get a ranked listing and a DR 71 backlink instantly.
Problem
Most directories rank by upvotes, not by founder intent to be seen.
Audience
Startup founders and indie hackers who want SEO backlinks.
Business model
Pay-what-you-want one-off payment via Stripe; higher bids earn higher rank positions.

Why people pay Tiny Startups

The DR 71 domain rating is already built; a new copy starts at DR 0. The 25,000+ newsletter subscribers and the existing ranked listings create real click traffic that a fresh directory cannot offer on day one.

Product complexity
Low
A ranked directory with pay-to-place listings is standard web app territory.
Data
Low
No external data sources are needed; listings are submitted by founders themselves.
Integrations & infrastructure
Low
Stripe handles checkout; no third-party service integrations are required.
Human operations
Low
Ranking is determined by bid amount, so no manual curation is required to operate.
Regulation / hardware
Low
A paid directory listing service carries no meaningful regulatory requirements.

- Each listing page is a permanent, indexed page carrying a DR 71 do-follow backlink to the founder's URL
