Icy Studios Upgrades to Icy.com in 7 Figure Acquisition

The valuable Icy.com domain name has reportedly been acquired for a 7 figure sum. Manik Kundra, who founded a company called Icy Studios, announced the acquisition on LinkedIn last night. His company has used IcyStudios.com since its founding, and Icy.com now forwards to the company’s website.

Prior to the acquisition, Icy.com was owned by Brandforce. The archived landing page for Icy.com shows the minimum offer to inquire about Icy.com was $2 million USD. I asked Louis Pickthall, Co-Founder and Vice President of BrandForce, if he could share the sale price for this domain name, but he was unable to do so. He did confirm that he brokered the sale of this domain name.

Manik’s LinkedIn post is below. Although the Icy.com sale price wasn’t shared, I added Icy to the list of companies that upgraded its domain name on Embrace.com.
