I’ve recently checked out some portals for buying SaaS businesses: Flippa, empire flippers, acquired.com, etc.

I really liked that acquire.com are kind of tech stack aware, so you see from the beginning the stack that the business uses.

I know that I should rather look at the business value, but for a side hustle one-person operation, buying something in a stack that you are not familiar with can be problematic. You might not be able to evaluate the technical mess you are buying and learning the new stack will be more expensive overall.

So my question is, are there more places like acquired.com where you can filter by tech stack, or places in general where you’ll find tech stack-specific offers?

How much weight do you put on the tech stack when making the choice?
