Buy a startup — the assets, not the drama
Buying a startup used to mean months of diligence, cap table archaeology, and a lawyer with an hourly rate that made you sweat. Here it means: pick a corpse, sign an NDA, read the code, wire the money, take the artifacts.
$ no_cap_table
You're not buying equity. There is no cap table to reconcile, no preferred stack to unwind.
$ no_earn_out
Flat price, closed. No performance-based payouts stretched over three years.
$ close_in_days_not_months
The paperwork is a short APA. Most deals close in under a week once diligence is done.
$ portable_assets_only
Code, models, data, sometimes domains. If a company had messy off-balance-sheet stuff, it doesn't make it onto Repo In Peace.
Frequently asked
Is this legit?
It's a standard asset sale, same instrument used in every M&A carve-out. What's different is the price and the honesty about why the company died.
Should I get a lawyer?
Yes, for anything above trivial size. The boilerplate APA is a starting point, not a substitute for counsel.
Can I buy anonymously?
The NDA needs a real legal name (individual or entity). Beyond that, buyer identity is not published.
