Who buys here
Whether you’re acquiring your first tool or building a portfolio, there’s a deal structure that fits your strategy.
The Operator
You acquire undervalued tools and grow them. You're looking for products with solid code and untapped potential — not just revenue, but opportunity.
The Builder
You'd rather buy a working foundation than start from scratch. A template, component, or tool that saves you weeks of development time is worth paying for.
The Portfolio Buyer
You collect micro-SaaS products and run them as a portfolio. You need deal flow, clean transfers, and structured terms — not back-channel negotiation.
The Team Lead
You need a working tool for your team yesterday. You'll pay a premium for something battle-tested, documented, and ready to integrate.
Four ways to buy
Every tool has a different deal structure. Pick the one that matches your budget and intent.
One-Time Purchase
Buy outright. You get the source code, IP, and full ownership. The seller exits, you take it from here. Escrow ensures clean transfer.
License Access
Subscribe to use the tool without owning the code. Lower commitment, ongoing access, and you can cancel anytime.
Open Interest
Signal interest in tools that aren't formally for sale yet. When enough demand builds, the creator may list — and you'll be first in line.
Royalty Deal
Acquire at a reduced upfront price in exchange for sharing a percentage of future revenue. Lower buy-in, shared upside with the creator.
The Royalty Deal, from the buyer side
Lower upfront cost in exchange for sharing future revenue. If you grow the product, the creator earns alongside you. If it doesn’t generate revenue, you owe nothing beyond the upfront price.

Built to protect buyers
Every transaction on Zero to Hundred is designed so you can buy with confidence from people you’ve never met.
Escrow protection
Your funds are held in milestone-based escrow. Money only releases as the seller delivers — repo transfer, infrastructure handoff, and dispute window.
Dispute resolution
If the product isn't as described, file a dispute with evidence. A neutral arbitrator reviews both sides within 48 hours.
Verified sellers
Sellers with identity verification, connected GitHub accounts, and transaction history get trust badges you can evaluate before buying.
Compliance bonds
In Royalty Deals, your compliance bond is held — not charged. It's returned in full when the term completes. It protects the creator, not your wallet.
