VPN.com owner launches domain brokerage
He spent $1 million on VPN.com. Now he wants to help other people sell domains.
When it comes to the power of good domain names, Michael Gargiulo puts his money where his mouth is.
Gargiulo bought VPN.com for close to $1 million in 2017 to launch a VPN comparison site. Since then he has been singing the praises of category-killer domain names through a Forbes column and other marketing.
Now he’s teaming up with Sharjil Saleem to launch a domain brokerage. Saleem has brokered a lot of top sales counting ETH.com for $2 million.
Gargiulo has ambitious plans for 2019 and vows to broker over $25 million of domains this year.
While the domain brokerage field is crowded, it will be interesting to see if Gargiulo’s experience as a premium domain buyer helps convince other buyers regarding the value of great domain names.
