TrustMRR closes its first $1M startup acquisition

TrustMRR recorded its first 7-figure acquisition. A go-to-market startup just over a year old sold for exactly $1,000,000 in October.

The founders listed it on TrustMRR nine months earlier, when the marketplace launched. They received a dozen offers, and the deal took more than six months, including due diligence.

Marc Lou puts the marketplace at 215 acquisitions this year, 23 days on average from listing to acquisition, 8,131 verified buyers, and 84 offers or inquiries a day.

His goal for 2027 is to make acquisitions 10 times faster. He says escrow accounts for 70 to 80 percent of the time from listing to acquisition, and that missing support for some currencies and countries causes about 30 percent of transactions to fall through.
