Rob Schutz, who made an Ask Me Anything appearance with the ICA yesterday, announced the Kickstart.com domain name was acquired by a company called Kickstart. Prior to the acquisition, Kickstart had been using KickstartFund.com, and that domain name now forwards to the brand matching Kickstart.com.
Congrats to the team at @KickstartFund for acquiring Kickstart*com. Epic upgrade!
And always a pleasure working with you @andrewrosener. 🤝

In Rob’s post, he mentioned that he worked with Andrew Rosener on the sale. Rob’s Snagged.com represented the buyer, but he was unable to share the sale price with me when I asked.
Although the acquisition price was not revealed, it looks like it held a $499,000 price tag on GoDaddy. The listing was still active this morning, so the former owner should have that listing removed. In looking at Archive.org, the Kickstart.com domain name has been priced around that level since at least 2020.
Acquiring Kickstart.com was a wise move for Kickstart. In fact, there is hardly ever a time that acquiring a brand matching .com domain name isn’t a great decision for a business that has the funds to do so.
I added Kickstart to the list of companies that upgraded its domain name. Perhaps the acquisition price will be shared at some point.
Congrats to the buyer who was lucky to have Rob and Andrew facilitating the deal.
Rob and Andrew get things done.
Win/Win seller and buyer
