Hey, Product Hunters!
I’m so excited to share a new version of Microns with you.
It's my second launch here, so don't be afraid to roast.
Three years passed since I presented Microns. In the summer of 2021, I was in Odesa, Ukraine, swimming with my wife.
At that stage, Microns was just a concept with 15 startup listings and around 150 newsletter subscribers — nothing serious.
I launched on the last day of the weekend, and it blew my mind. So many founders liked the project, and we became the #3 Product of the Day.
I remember that day. I was on the bus driving home and replying to every comment on PH. It was a positive sign for me to continue working on the project.
Since then, many things have changed, and Microns has gained much improvement and traction. We have sold over 70 startups worth $300k+.
Based on customer feedback, I’ve added Profiles, Metrics, Chat, Analytics, and other features you asked for.
Microns is fully bootstrapped, so monetization was crucial to keeping the marketplace working. For this reason, I created a Premium membership and Transfer service, and people started paying. It was that magical moment.
You can sell any of your online projects for free. The main requirements are as follows: your project has revenue and is bootstrapped.
To buy a startup, you must have a Premium membership.
If you need help with your transaction and want to feel safe, request our Transfer service.
I'll be here all day, so I'm happy to answer all your questions.
Do you have any suggestions regarding the platform or monetization? I would love your feedback.
Thank you.
@deshraj_singh Thank you, Deshraj. My customers are my investors so it's crucial to listen to them. This way, I can build a better place for all founders around the world.
@sasha_buratynskyi Great question, Oleksandr! At the start, it was cold outreach (social and email). Then, when the platform started getting traction, I used more scalable methods like social media, SEO, and sponsorships. The other very popular channel is word of mouth (many founders who sold their projects share Microns with their friends).
@sweatc congrats on your product hunt launch today! As a fellow maker who also launched today (currently on #2), I know there's lots of effort and work that went into this. So, congratulations!! Hope your are succeeding with your platform!
Been a microns user for about a year. @sweatc did an amazing job with the new site and built in messaging. Great job Ilya and the team. Can't wait to see you expand your startup portfolio. Best of luck with the new platform
@ejaxf Ejaz, thank you so much for your feedback with messages, it helped create a great experience for all buyers and sellers. Appreciate your support and hope you expand your portfolio and grow more awesome projects.
Wow, the new site looks great @sweatc 🙌
Connected for a couple of years now, I know you have a great passion for this and consistently keep improving the marketplace for your users. Very inspiring!
Great product! I really like that they allow and focus on publishing small projects, which for a long time seemed like an empty niche.
I have actually published 2 projects on Microns and sold one last year.
Good luck!
Congrats on the launch. Micron's launch is well-timed because I'm currently in the process of selling a project, and I'm confident that partnering with Micron could help me secure the sale.
