### How to favorite startups on the marketplace

While browsing Acquire.com’s marketplace, you might discover a promising startup and want to save it for later. 

You don’t have to send an access request and sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to add startups to your favorites list.

1\. Click the **heart icon** in the top right corner of the listing box.   
![fav 1.1](https://help.acquire.com/hs-fs/hubfs/fav%201.1.png?width=670&height=375&name=fav%201.1.png)

2\. Add the startup to an existing Favorites list or create a new list. Then click **Save**.   
![fav 1.3](https://help.acquire.com/hs-fs/hubfs/fav%201.3.png?width=670&height=390&name=fav%201.3.png)

To learn more about a startup before favoriting, click the listing and [request access](https://help.acquire.com/how-can-i-chat-with-sellers-1?hsLang=en) to reveal the startup's full listing and private details (subject to seller approval).

1\. Click the **heart icon** in the top right corner. 

![fav 1.5](https://help.acquire.com/hs-fs/hubfs/fav%201.5.png?width=670&height=387&name=fav%201.5.png)

2\. Add the startup to an existing Favorites list or create a new list. Then click **Save**.

### How to remove startups from your deals list

If you want to remove startups from your deals list entirely, look for the **Archive** button next to the **Favorite** button.
