Seems to be working. SupportMagic recently put itself up for sale, and the company told us that an investor bought them after finding them on VentureBoard.

Fire me an email at venturebeat at gmail dot com if you have any questions about posting. Or just go to the “ventureboard” tab at venturebeat.

I would think eBay would rather setup something like this through their own website since they have the auction power setup already.

Venturebeat set up Ventureboard a few months ago. It’s just a board, sure, but an actual exchange seems unlikely given the one-off nature of business sales. Pretty hard to standardize that.

I think it might be the nature of “the business” – the current number of small project businesses selling themselves might be an anomaly. Will the creation and sale of web startups continue far enough into the future to make it a viable marketplace? I’m not sure, I’ll give it a 50/50.

It wouldn’t be hard to code it up, though… Someone could easily position it as “build your service and sell it here” or “Stay out of the Deadpool – Sell your service!”
