Startup Sphere Weekly #60

In partnership with

Welcome back to Startup Sphere - the weekly newsletter that sends you profitable business ideas & acquisition opportunities.

This week’s newsletter is brought to you by Microns.

I’ve been featuring businesses from Microns for months now, so I was excited when they reached out to sponsor the newsletter.

Microns is one of the easiest ways to find profitable businesses for sale.

This week I am proud to feature another listing from Microns, but with them as a sponsor.

So let’s get into it ⤵️

Weekly Rundown

Platform to build virtual influencers

Asking Price: $300,000
TTM Revenue: $117,000
TTM Profit: $109,000

So many people are cashing in with virtual influencers in 2025.

And what’s the best way to make money during a gold rush? Sell the shovel.

The business for sale is a platform that allows users to build their own virtual influencers.

The business originally got a ton of organic traffic, but now the founder is struggling with marketing. I think this is an easy sell, so it’s a great opportunity for someone with some marketing experience to come in and grow the platform.

The SaaS also comes with 60,000 emails. A great beachhead audience to try to convert to customers.

Contact database for HR leaders

Asking Price: $299,000
TTM Revenue: $158,000
TTM Profit: $72,000

Database products are so underrated.

The concept is simple and straightforward - aggregate a database of contact points for a certain demographic, then cold email your ICP and sell them access.

This specific business for sale is a database of 700,000 people in the HR niche.

The business sale even comes with all the systems for outreach that are already in place.

IMO, this is a relatively easy business to start, but having everything already set up is definitely a speed advantage.

Platform for interacting with AI models

Asking Price: $299,000
TTM Revenue: $167,000
TTM Profit: $114,000

Not sure if anyone else feels this way, but it seems like there’s a new AI model released every day - Grok, ChatGPT, Llama, Claude, DeepSeek, etc.

I really think there is money to be made in unifying and aggregating these models. This business does just that.

The company for sale is a SaaS platform that lets users interact with multiple AI models simultaneously. This way users can compare outputs simultaneously, and find what works best for their use case.

At its peak, this business made $30,000/month. One obvious question here is why the revenue dropped. And if it can get back to that level.

I’m not too familiar with the space, but TypingMind comes to mind as a competitor.
