In addition to building websites and online communities from ground-up, VerticalScope acquires established enthusiast-oriented web properties and domain names on a regular basis. We have a particular interest in purchasing web sites, online communities and forums in the Automotive, Sports, and Technology verticals. We do review acquisition opportunities in other markets as well and encourage website owners who are considering a sale of their website to contact us to discuss your business.

We are often asked why web entrepreneurs sell their businesses to VerticalScope. Some of the most common reasons include:

Unlocking Value

Often, enthusiasts start a website or online community in their spare time or after work. After years of work, the founder may want to move on to another venture and be rewarded for the countless hours of hard work they invested into their site. As one of the few companies that actively acquires enthusiast-run websites, VerticalScope is often the ideal partner – we are a nimble, enthusiast-run business ourselves, and have the ability to close a transaction for a website in as little as 24 hours.

Change of Interest

Many times, we purchase online communities from owners who were once passionate about their site’s subject matter, but have since lost interest. They want to ensure that their website is in the capable hands of an enthusiast-run business that can keep their community thriving. VerticalScope can provide an exit opportunity to these owners and ensure their communities are well looked after.

Difficulty Managing Growth

We often see enthusiast-started websites and message boards that have become so popular that the technical, operational, and financial resources required to effectively run the community may be beyond the means of the owner. Big communities require a significant investment in server infrastructure, bandwidth, backup, software, administration, and other technical resources. This does not include the difficulty enthusiasts often have monetizing their website to pay for the massive investment required to keep their site a going concern. VerticalScope has acquired many such websites that have benefited from our significant resources, expertise, and like-minded enthusiast interest in the subject matter.

These are just a few of the reasons site owners choose to talk to VerticalScope about acquiring their websites. Other reasons have included everything from partnership issues forcing the sale of a community, or simply the desire to retire. Whatever the case may be, VerticalScope has proven through many successful transactions that we will be not only good stewards for your enthusiast-oriented website, but that we can add significant value to the user experience through improvements in technology and faster servers.
and then some smilies at the end
