APA
Asset purchase agreement.
What is APA?
An asset purchase agreement defines which assets transfer from seller to buyer. In SaaS acquisitions, this can include code, domain, customer records, brand assets, contracts, docs, and accounts.
In Vibe Coding
AI-built SaaS deals need careful APA scope because APIs, model accounts, data rights, and third-party services may not transfer cleanly.
Example
The APA lists the repository, domain, database export, brand assets, and customer support inbox as purchased assets.
Why this matters
This matters because APA appears repeatedly when building, deploying, debugging, or connecting services in vibe coding workflows.
When you'll hit this in practice
You will usually run into APA when working on Technical Due Diligence.
