Shahed Khan is the Co-Founder of Loom, a video-based work communication tool. The company operates on its brand matching Loom.com domain name, but that wasn’t always the case.
This afternoon on X, Shahed shared the creative way his company was able to acquire Loom.com for $150,000 in 2018. Having Loom.com certainly helped the company. In fact, it was acquired by Atlassian for $975 million in 2023.
Here’s the first post in Shahed’s thread. You’ll want to click through through to X to read the entire story.
We paid $150k for https://t.co/iut4MAxjca after closing our Series A.
How we acquired that domain is still one of the company’s wildest stories.

This is a great example of using a creative way to secure an exceptional domain name for a great price.
Great story!
Love it!
