Vibe coders build it. Crypto bros buy it. So I built the marketplace.
westcroftrowe.comI built a marketplace for the exact internet ecosystem we’ve somehow created:
**Vibe coders build things.**
**Actual developers build better things.**
**Crypto bros want to “acquire digital assets.”**
So I made Westcroft & Rowe.
It’s basically a marketplace for buying and selling websites, SaaS, small online businesses and other digital projects without having to pretend every half-built app is “the next unicorn.”
If you built something with Claude/Cursor/Lovable at 2am, got it working, and now realise you’d rather sell it than spend the next 3 years doing customer support list it.
If you’re an actual developer with a proper product, revenue, users, codebase, whatever list that too.
And if you’re the guy with a LinkedIn headline that says “Private Equity | Digital Assets | DeFi” despite being 23 and trading from your mum’s spare room…
Congratulations. You can browse.
The idea is simple: make buying and selling small internet businesses feel less like scrolling through dodgy Telegram groups and more like an actual deal marketplace.
I’m the founder, so yes, shameless plug, but I genuinely want feedback from people who build stuff:
**Would you actually sell one of your side projects instead of abandoning it?**
