Our Story

Why VPN.com became a domain brokerage

In 2014, Michael Gargiulo found the perfect domain for his cybersecurity venture. VPN.com. It wasn't for sale.

He spent four years building a relationship with the owner. No pressure. No ultimatums. When the owner was finally ready, Michael was the first call.

The asking price was nearly $2 million. They closed at $976,730, saving $750K through patient, professional negotiation.

Then Michael met Sharjil Saleem. Together they built the brokerage that now handles deals from $25,000 to $25 million.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why shouldn't we just try to buy it ourselves?
The moment you reach out, leverage disappears. Advisors preserve anonymity, control price discovery, and prevent signaling. That discipline generally saves more than it costs.
How do I know you'll actually create value?
Our compensation is outcome-based. If we don't deliver there is no cost. Value creation isn't optional, it's our business model.
What if you push us to overpay just to close?
Overpaying destroys trust and referrals. We operate under explicit price discipline because long-term credibility matters more than any single deal.
Why not just use a marketplace or broker platform?
Marketplaces work for listed assets. Advisors unlock off-market domains held by owners who aren't advertising and won't engage without professional mediation.
Is this really worth the fee?
The real cost isn't the fee, it's overpaying, losing anonymity, or missing the moment entirely. Advisors exist to prevent expensive mistakes, not add friction.
