I am a self-taught, serial entrepreneur. This is my first time attending NamesCon, but I have been a domain investor since 2018. I always pride myself on my creativity and intuition, which often allows me to grab domain names before others may see any value in them. I am an avowed futurist and many of my names are focused on near-future technologies. I believe in using new platforms and channels to market domains in non-traditional ways. I was a very early adopter of the Clubhouse app and am frequently online as a moderator of rooms covering a wide array of topics.

 

"Mark has founded, grown and sold two publishing technology companies. Mark started investing in domain names in the early 2000's because he believed a strong domain portfolio relevant to his companies would help increase their acquisition value. They did. His last company was sold to a NASDAQ listed media company that first approached him about buying a domain name. Mark's current pubtech company, DropCap, markets, monetizes and manages international publishing rights for more than 70 book publishers. Mark is passionate about domain investing and the community."
