Marketplace for builders & founders

Find the builder. Buy the business.
Build what's next.

builders.to is where operators meet the people and the companies that move them forward: a technical cofounder who ships, an online business with real revenue, or a buyer ready to take your project off your hands.

Cofounder introductions · Business acquisitions · Exits — no fluff, no gated decks.

Three ways founders use builders.to

Most people arrive with one of these problems. Each one has a guide that walks you through the boring, decisive parts.

⚡

Find a technical cofounder

You've validated demand and you need someone who can build. We cover where technical founders actually look, how to open the conversation, and how to split equity without wrecking the company.

Buy an online business

Buying beats starting from zero when you can read a P&L. Learn how to screen listings, value a content or software business, and run due diligence without a banker.

How it works

Four steps, whether you're hiring a builder, buying a company, or leaving one behind.

1

Say what you actually need

A cofounder with mobile experience. A Shopify store doing $8k a month. A buyer who won't gut your support team. One short brief beats a long pitch.

2

Get matched, not spammed

We route your brief to the builders, listings, or buyers that fit it — and tell you plainly when nothing does.

3

Do the diligence

Verification of revenue, traffic, code, or references before anyone signs anything. Our guides give you the exact questions to ask.

4

Close cleanly

Term sheets, equity splits, asset purchase agreements, and a handover checklist — plus a 30-day transition plan so nothing breaks on day two.

Want the current list with numbers? Ask for it — we send the live shortlist, not a marketing page.

Thinking about selling?

The best time to prepare is twelve months before you list. We'll tell you what a buyer will pay today — and which three things would move that number.

Request a valuation read

Start with the guides

Long, practical, and updated as the market changes. Written for operators, not for people who already know the jargon.

Tell us what you're building or buying

One short brief is enough. A human reads every message and replies within two business days — even if the answer is "not yet".

What to include

  • Whether you're buying, selling, or looking for a cofounder
  • The niche and the number that matters (revenue, budget, or equity stake)
  • Your timeline — this quarter, this year, or just exploring

We reply within two business days. No newsletters, no sales sequences.
