Last week, I published details about investment platform Nvstr’s rebrand to Tornado, with the company acquiring Tornado.com from domain investor and entrepreneur Brent Oxley.
Famous for founding HostGator, Oxley has more recently built a sizable portfolio of domain names that includes names such as Broker.com, Hybrid.com, and Document.com.
A name that Oxley has owned until recently is Confirm.com. The sale of this domain was spotted by Jamie Zoch and confirmed to me by Brent Oxley.
Oxley himself purchased Confirm.com less than a year ago, paying $108,000 for the domain in a deal brokered by Sedo. The name was then added to Oxley’s Efty marketplace, where it remained until it was sold.
The domain was acquired by Confirm HR, a young brand founded in 2019 that uses a data-driven approach to help companies make the right hire. The company has raised $3 million in funding since 2019.
Confirm HR upgraded from ConfirmHR.com to Confirm.com. According to Oxley, the deal was facilitated by Larry Erlich of DomainRegistry.com. The price paid for Confirm.com has not been revealed.
He should get equity with this quality of domain names
You dont even know how much he sold it for. Thanks Oxley, nice to know, one of those. — Agree, sells priceless domains, but disagree, “equity” since Oxley can only “confirm” he sold it. Maybe got 1-10 million, high low 6 fig. Thanks a lot, Oxley!
At least give us ballpark. Enjoy the $$. Doesnt deserve equity, since no price.
