Repo In Peace
A marketplace where you can buy the leftover code, trained models, datasets, or domain names of startups that shut down — instead of that IP just disappearing when the company folds.

Description
When a startup shuts down, everything it built — the codebase, a trained model, a dataset someone spent months cleaning, a good domain name — usually just vanishes, even though a lot of it still has real value to someone else. Repo In Peace is a subscription-based marketplace built specifically to rescue and resell that leftover intellectual property before it disappears for good.
Launched in 2024, Repo In Peace verifies each listed repository before it goes live, offers a read-only code sandbox (with line counts and dependency info) so buyers can inspect quality before committing, and gates full details behind an NDA to protect sensitive IP. Deals happen through direct negotiation between buyer and seller using a provided Asset Purchase Agreement template, with no escrow, mediation, or warranty from the platform itself — Repo In Peace facilitates the introduction, not the deal's safety net. Listings are filterable by vertical (FinTech, HealthTech, DevTools, AI Tools), and access to view them requires an Insider Access subscription rather than a per-listing fee.
💬 Our review
The short version: it's a clever niche idea — a graveyard-to-resale pipeline for dead startups' code and data — but at the time of research the marketplace had zero live listings, so there's nothing to evaluate yet beyond the concept and the mechanics.
The verification step and read-only sandbox are sensible trust-building features for a category (buying someone else's abandoned codebase) that's inherently risky, and the vertical filtering (FinTech, HealthTech, DevTools, AI Tools) shows some thought about buyer intent. But the complete absence of escrow, mediation, or any warranty means all the real risk — code that doesn't work, IP with unclear ownership, a seller who disappears mid-negotiation — sits entirely on the buyer, and you're paying for Insider Access before you even know if anything relevant is listed. Until the marketplace has actual inventory and a track record of completed deals, treat this as a bet on the founders executing well, not a marketplace with proven liquidity.
