Location : Austin, Texas

Job Type : Full-Time

Company Overview : Biz Scout is making small businesses as easy to buy and sell as real estate. We are bridging the gap between one generation’s legacy of small business creation and the next generation who will buy and innovate within them.

We are a marketplace for off-market deals, paired with a traditional small business marketplace and a brokerage arm that helps hold buyers and sellers' hands.

Our unfair advantage is the 100 million monthly views we get as a media company and use to increase all sides of the marketplace from brokers to buyers, to sellers.

We pair technology with brokerage.

Parent Company : Contrarian Thinking is bringing Main Street back by using media to revitalize small businesses across this country.

We are led by Codie Sanchez, former Wall Street and Private Equity investor.
