01 THE IDEA

Greg briefly mentions 'offer button.com' as one of several products being incubated — described as a little widget to help you sell your company. The concept is simple: a small embeddable button or banner that business owners can add to their site indicating they're open to acquisition conversations, connecting them with potential buyers passively.

This is a lightweight tool in the M&A discovery space, aiming to reduce friction for both sellers (who may not want to engage brokers) and buyers (who want proprietary deal flow). It's early-stage and Greg doesn't elaborate much, but the concept is clear and the TAM around SMB acquisitions is large given the 'buy then build' movement popularized by podcasts like Acquisition Entrepreneurship.

03 THE VERDICT

The widget concept is clever as a top-of-funnel acquisition signal, but the hard part is building a qualified buyer network — without that, the widget is just a contact form. The idea needs a marketplace or community layer to have real value. Worth incubating cheaply to test whether organic buyer intent exists.

Verdict: MAYBE — read why above. Still convinced? A vetted builder can pressure-test the scope before you commit.
