As far as I've found for my own startup, the best places have been building a community within platforms such as ProductHunt and LinkedIn, or else just reaching out to potential customers directly on LinkedIn.

Another thing you could try are marketing channels tailored to your target demographic, such as influencers and newsletters.

To be honest, the wheres and hows of how you sell your startup really depend on what the startup is as well, but the above have been my experiences so far!

Selling a startup involves strategic planning and finding the right avenues to showcase its value. One effective approach is to utilize online platforms and marketplaces tailored to connect startups with potential buyers or investors. Additionally, networking within entrepreneurial communities, attending industry events, and leveraging social media channels can expand visibility and attract interested parties. While navigating this process, it's crucial to optimize various aspects of your startup, including its online presence and marketing strategies. For instance, you might find AiToolsKit.ai beneficial; it's a comprehensive platform offering free tools for AI, SEO, writing, YouTube, and social media management, which can enhance your startup's visibility and appeal to potential buyers or investors while streamlining your marketing efforts. https://bit.ly/ph-aitoolskit
