Tired these guys when they launched and you had to $99 to see the sites.
Was very disappointed to see it was just the same old Amazon affiliate sites that you can see at all the other brokerages, of varying quality too.
Question: if you are doing DD for a buyer, what is there backing it? If it a lawyer screws up, you can sue them or go to the Law Society. Can buyers actually RELY on your DD?

@ematt Thanks for your comment. A LOT has changed since our first launch ;). We're currently focusing on content sites - not just Amazon. Affiliate/display/direct advertising. Soon we'll start with the expansion to other business models, but we really wanted to dial in everything before we even consider scaling horizontally.
Our due diligence reports are there to make the decision easier. Not the final buying decision, but whether or not should you even consider the site.
You (everyone) should do their own due diligence. Our report is a shortcut and a solid jump start so you don't have to waste 5+ hours collecting all that information.
Hope that helps.
@willddddd Thank you. Valuations are a pretty complex subject. A lot of different aspects need to be taken into consideration (revenue streams, age, niche, seasonality, traffic sources, etc.). We've created a free valuation tool you can use to get a better feel of how everything works: https://investors.club/valuation...
hey @andrej! there's a small typo on the homepage, "exlusive and direct" that stood out to me 🙏
there are some services whose concept is close to in Japan
But it looks like the design is greater
Clearly the maker of this unique app has put in the time and effort to understand the people he wants to help. Ergo, this is more than just a good idea, this is a good opportunity because there is an implementable plan with a customer base that can be accessed and build on. Thanks for sharing.
Really liking the offering, congrats on the launch :) Went through your landing page and left some thoughts in context here too incase its useful, cheers! https://app.usebubbles.com/nWQqx...
In a world of commission-only brokerages hellbent on selling you a job, seeing Investors Club turn the model on its head and start a "buyer-centric" market (with NO fees!) is a huge refresher. This is exactly what the Online M&A Market needs, and hope to see it grow into the dominant player.
Hey Product Hunt! I’m Andrej, founder of Investors Club.
It’s a private marketplace for buying and selling online businesses with lower fees, better service, and less work for buyers and sellers.
Since our launch on PH back in January (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), we’ve grown to 800+ members with a constant flow of private deals not listed anywhere else.
Problem: Dealing with a major website broker is awful for everyone except the broker.
- Sellers cough up obscene fees (10-25%) to brokers for doing the bare minimum, wait weeks to be approved, and waste hours dealing with tire-kickers and copycats.
- Buyers dig through hundreds of bad listings for profitable deals, race against thousands of people to find them, and then waste hours on due diligence because broker reports are basic and full of holes.
That doesn’t even cover the time or fees for legal docs, technical site transfer, post-sale inspection, or an escrow service. None of it is beginner-friendly.
The idea: after buying and selling 600+ sites for myself and for clients (I’m also CEO of Alpha Investors), I wondered: why isn’t there a better way to do this? So I built Investors Club.
What’s different?
+ Industry-low fees: capped at 5% regardless of deal-size; sellers keep more profit.
+ No-fee assisted purchase: our team handles mediation, transfer, and inspection on every deal at no extra cost. Both sides barely lift a finger, and it makes buying/selling more accessible to first-timers.
+ Deeper due diligence: 24-point analysis conducted by veteran analysts and SEOs so you can just click, review, and invest.
+ Done-for-you legal docs: for you, it’s as easy as “fill-in-the-blank.”
+ No-fee escrow: no limits, fast turnaround, included on all deals. Keep more of your money!
Plus: Members are vetted (asked for proof of funds) to protect sellers from tire-kickers. Listings go live in 7 days (not weeks), exclusivity contracts are shorter (3 months vs. 6), inspections wrap in 7 days (not four weeks), and we do manual in-depth valuations to ensure you get a fair price.
New in 2.0:
- In-app chat: ask questions and negotiate from inside the app, no exploding inboxes.
- Free valuation tool: get an instant estimate of your site’s worth, no email required.
- Dashboards: buyers manage all ongoing deals from one screen. Sellers evaluate and respond to incoming deals in one easy view.
- Guaranteed sale: if your listing doesn’t move in 90 days, we pay you for your time.
I hope you’ll be excited by what we’re building, and I love feedback—thank you for reading this!

@andrejilisin this is great! What businesses sold have you been the most excited about so far?
@pollock That's a tough one! We had a couple of low-to-med six-figure content sites that got sold within a week of going live. I always get excited when we publish a new listing and it instantly gets traction with our buyers
Consistent deal flow and valuable due diligence reports. IC is a huge efficiency boost for web site investors
@david_dodge1 Thanks for stopping by, David. Glad to hear you find it helpful and valuable.
Very cool! Could you talk a bit more about how you're differentiated from some of your competitors?
@samantha_eisler Thanks for the question! Just to avoid copy/pasting, we've covered that in the 'Compare us to the other guys' section on both our landing pages. That should give you a pretty solid idea about our offerings:

@bam_365 Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, that's why we're doing our best to create an environment that's benefiting both sides. Glad to hear you like it.
@jam_master Appreciate that. When can I expect to see your site(s) listed? :)
Investors Club is awesome, they provide such a great experience for buyers. Especially with their new updates, keep it up I.C!
