Built for founders, operators, and anyone actively looking to buy profitable SaaS businesses and apps.
Hi everyone! I'm Rajesh, the maker of Startup Index.
While looking through startup marketplaces, I kept noticing the same thing: listings do a great job showing how a business has performed, but they rarely help answer a buyer's next question "Is this a good acquisition?"
That led me to build Startup Index.
Instead of stopping at revenue, MRR, and profit, every listing also includes ROI and payback period, making it easier to compare opportunities before contacting a seller.
This is the first version, and I'm actively improving it based on feedback from people who buy, acquire, or evaluate startups.
I'd genuinely love to hear:
What metrics do you look for before considering an acquisition?
What's one thing you wish every startup listing included?
Thanks for checking it out, and I'm looking forward to your feedback!
