Indie Goal.

Industries

Where we focus.

Indie Goal covers the internet software stack — the tools, extensions, APIs, and content businesses that builders create and operators acquire. Six categories, carefully curated.

01 / 06

Micro-SaaS

Typical ARR
$50k – $5M
Typical buyers
Indie operators, holding companies

Small, focused software tools with recurring revenue and lean teams. Often solo-built, highly automated, and priced for acquisition.

Examples we list
  • Subscription management tools
  • Niche CRM plugins
  • B2B workflow automations

Indie Goal's largest segment. We list micro-SaaS businesses with at least $30k ARR and 12 months of operating history.

02 / 06

Chrome Extensions

Typical ARR
$20k – $2M
Typical buyers
Strategic acquirers, indie operators

Browser extensions with loyal user bases, often monetised through subscriptions or one-time purchases. Low churn, high margin.

Examples we list
  • Productivity tools
  • Design utilities
  • Developer helpers
  • SEO tools

We look for extensions with an established user base and clear monetisation. User count matters; so does the business behind it.

03 / 06

AI Tools

Typical ARR
$30k – $3M
Typical buyers
Strategic acquirers, operators with AI distribution

Early-stage AI-powered products with paying customers. The frontier moves fast — we focus on tools with real retention, not just downloads.

Examples we list
  • Writing assistants
  • Data extraction tools
  • AI-powered workflows

We apply extra scrutiny to AI listings — retention, API cost margin, and lock-in all matter more than headline ARR.

04 / 06

Developer Tools

Typical ARR
$100k – $10M
Typical buyers
Strategic acquirers, PE-backed roll-ups

CLIs, SDKs, APIs, and SaaS products built for software engineers. Often usage-based or seat-licensed, with strong operator retention.

Examples we list
  • API management tools
  • CI/CD utilities
  • Code review platforms

Developer tools require buyers who understand the audience. We vet buyer technical literacy alongside financials.

05 / 06

Newsletters & Content

Typical ARR
$10k – $500k
Typical buyers
Media operators, content holding companies

Editorial properties with paying subscriber bases or strong advertising revenue. Indie Goal treats content businesses with the same rigour as SaaS.

Examples we list
  • Paid newsletters
  • Niche trade publications
  • Content + tool combinations

We list content businesses where the brand has genuine audience ownership — not just a mailing list.

06 / 06

Indie Apps & Mobile

Typical ARR
$20k – $2M
Typical buyers
App portfolio operators, indie acquirers

iOS and Android apps with sustainable revenue from subscriptions or in-app purchases. Often single-developer, often undervalued.

Examples we list
  • Productivity apps
  • Niche utilities
  • Subscription media apps

App Store and Play Store dependency is a factor we analyse carefully. We look for apps with direct customer relationships where possible.

About Indie Goal

A curated marketplace for software business acquisitions.

Indie Goal is an editorial marketplace for acquiring and selling software businesses — operated by Samira Advisors, a Vienna-based M&A advisory firm. We focus on the segment of the internet economy that moves quietly: indie SaaS, developer tools, Chrome extensions, AI products.

Unlike platforms that list everything and vet nothing, Indie Goal curates. Every listing is reviewed, every buyer is qualified. The result is a smaller, more serious marketplace where deals actually close.

How Indie Goal compares.

Most software business marketplaces optimise for volume. Indie Goal optimises for fit. We write the listing memo, we qualify the buyers, and we keep the process discreet until a deal is ready to close.

If you're looking to acquire a micro-SaaS, a Chrome extension, an AI tool, or a developer product — or if you're a founder ready to sell — Indie Goal is built for you.
