its very informative
Of course, for a good business/ideas you need a good domain!
This is a great interview and it was fascinating to learn how this startup’s domain identity went through four or five iterations until it finally became Halp.com. It even had another name prior to BubbleIQ! No doubt about the instant credibility that HALP delivers, as Fletcher illustrates by describing the immediate positive reaction by colleagues.
I nearly fell off my chair when I heard about who the seller was, who I have read about. So Fletcher did really well to acquire the domain at that price (revealed in the video) despite the hurdles and the price being jacked-up.
My specialty is brandable domains so funded startups are probably my best potential customers. They have money and vision. So learning about the thought processes that Fletcher and his co-founder went through, and their strategic approach to the acquisition, is information gold.
If you say that word on the radio it will sound like “help”
Great show!
