Vertos — Buy & sell early-stage startups, SaaS, and side projects
Vertos is the trusted marketplace for buying and selling early-stage digital projects:
AI apps, micro SaaS, Chrome extensions, and newsletters. Every deal is protected with
source code held in escrow, verified sellers, and secure payments.
Why Vertos
- Too many good ideas stall out before they get a real shot at distribution. Vertos exists to put them in front of operators who can finish the job.
- Not every builder is the one to take a project the last mile. Vertos lets you hand it to someone who is — and get paid for how far you took it.
- The hard part was never the code — it's the traction. On Vertos you buy the head start instead of starting from zero.
- Most side projects don't fail. They just get abandoned. Vertos gives them a second owner instead of a slow fade into a forgotten repo.
- Handing off something you built comes down to trust. The source code stays in escrow until payment clears, so the handoff is the easy part.
- A great product with no distribution is just a well-kept secret. Vertos puts the people who build and the people who grow on the same side of the table.
Frequently asked questions
- What is Vertos?
- Vertos is a trusted marketplace to buy and sell early-stage digital projects — AI apps, micro-SaaS, browser extensions, newsletters, starter sites, and more — with the full source code held in escrow and every seller verified.
- What can I buy and sell on Vertos?
- Early-stage digital projects that already exist and work: AI apps, micro-SaaS products, browser and Chrome extensions, newsletters, starter sites, communities, mobile apps, white-label bots, automations, APIs, games, and datasets — often with some users or revenue.
- How does buying a project work?
- Browse listings, message the seller with questions, then buy at a fixed Buy Now price or bid in a live auction. You pay through Stripe into escrow; the source code unlocks for you and the funds release to the seller once you confirm the handoff. Both sides then leave a review.
- What fees does Vertos charge?
- Listing is completely free — no upfront or monthly cost. Vertos charges a flat 5% success fee only when a sale actually completes, so sellers keep 95% of the sale price.
- Is it safe to buy and sell on Vertos?
- Yes. The source code stays locked and the buyer's payment stays held in Stripe-powered escrow until the handoff is confirmed, so no one can walk away with both the code and the money. Sellers build a public, verified reputation from completed sales.
- Can I sell a project I've stopped working on?
- Yes — that is exactly what Vertos is for. List it for free and get paid for the work you have already done, instead of letting a working project fade into an abandoned repo.
