About BizPort
BizPort is the AI-powered marketplace to buy and sell businesses - think software, DTC brands, and agencies. We build technology to make buying and selling businesses simple, and our mission is to bring transparency, speed, and trust to SMB acquisitions. BizPort is a bootstrapped, AI-first remote startup, and we're here to disrupt the trillion dollar M&A market.
Our co-founders, Kyle and Frank, spent most of their careers in tech startups, leading M&A at OpenStore and buying and selling their own small businesses. We've led M&A transactions on both sides of the table, and we were inspired by how convoluted and painful the process is from a founder perspective. Now, we're here to change that.
We're building the business development function from the ground up, and we're looking for someone who wants to be the driving force behind it.
