The words "call.com buyer reveals plans with rolf larsen" on a black background

Rolf Larsen is no stranger to premium domains. One of his firms, Desktop.com, has by now realized the benefits of a powerful one. So when Rolf saw that call.com was available for purchase, he immediately thought of Vkye, a voice over IP firm that he’s the chairman of. He brought the opportunity to the firm’s lead investor, who initially rejected the idea of buying the domain. But over the course of a few days, he came around, and the firm ended up paying $1.6 million for the domain. On today’s show, Rolf explains why the firm thought it was worth spending the money on the domain and how it plans to use it. We also get an update on Desktop.com and a fresh domain-related service Rolf is launching.
