Jeff Fischer Joins Larry at GetYourDomain

Larry Fischer is one of the top domain investors of all time. Larry has been in the space for decades, and he has acquired, sold, and advised on hundreds of millions worth of domain name deals. His company, GetYourDomain, represents a portfolio of the highest value domain names.

I had the chance to briefly meet Larry’s son, Jeff Fischer, at the ICA meeting in Las Vegas last month. After spending several years in a range of finance roles, Jeff transitioned into the domain name industry and has been working alongside Larry. He holds an MBA from Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business and began his post-MBA career as a Banker at Barclays.

Atom Teases Domain Name Generator Tool

One of the things I enjoy doing is creating lists of domain names to search and register. In years past, I primarily used keyword lists from various websites along with the concatenate function in Excel.

More recently, I’ve been entrusting this to AI tools like ChatGPT and Grok. To come up with domain name lists to search, I would enter a prompt that is something along the lines of this:

Atom Pay Offers $10 Transaction Fee Through 2025

Atom.com introduced one of the better Black Friday deals I’ve seen offered. The platform is allowing customers to transact with its Atom Pay service for just $10 instead of the 4.5% standard transaction fee. Theoretically, this could be a huge savings depending on the size of deals transacted on the platform.

Sedo Ends Partnership with Atom

I was in my Atom.com dashboard this evening, when I saw a note to customers in the message center. According to the note, “Sedo has decided to end its partnership with Atom.” Atom customers who have premium listings on the platform also automatically have their domain names appear for sale on Sedo. This will no longer be the case.

I am not really sure why Sedo would choose to end this relationship with Atom. It would seem to be a good chance to expand its inventory of domain names for sale, particularly in growing verticals like .AI where Atom seems to be making some inroads.

Saw.com Announces $100 Million in Domain Name Deals

The Saw.com domain name sales brokerage and sales platform announced a milestone this morning. The company surpassed $100,000,000 in domain name deals. I presume this includes private brokerage sales along with deals closed on its platform.

Saw.com was founded in 2019 by Jeffrey Gabriel, a domain broker (and industry legend) who worked at a high level at other domain brokerage firms. Jeff founded Saw.com and he has built a strong team with brokers located throughout the world. More recently, Saw.com opened up its platform for domain investors to list their domain names for sale.

Congratulations to Saw.com on its milestone.
