@seanmarkey Just selling domains. But don’t call me honey 😂

I may not share everything but still in the top 5 of average domain sale price at Atom. Sales are slow this month so go pick something out and buy it at Uphoney.com Please don't buy anything under $22K so I don't ruin my average 😂

You can sell the tools or you can sell the service and the outcome. The tools will be endless. The companies and people who use the tools and produce the best outcomes are going to be the big winners.

Sequoia's thesis that the next $1T company will sell work, not software, is the most important reframe in AI right now. The argument: if you sell a copilot, you're competing with every new model release. But if you sell the outcome — books closed, contracts reviewed, claims handled — every AI improvement makes your margins better, not your product obsolete. The key insight most people miss: for every $1 spent on software, ~$6 is spent on services. The entire SaaS playbook was about capturing the software dollar. The AI playbook is about capturing the services dollar — at software margins. Not "AI for accountants." The AI accounting firm. Not "AI for lawyers." The AI law firm. The companies that figure this out won't look like SaaS companies. They'll look like services firms rebuilt on software infrastructure. That's a fundamentally different company to build, fund, and scale. And most founders are still building copilots.

top sale on the board: rew-online.com
rew = real estate weekly, a real estate (duh) publication.
why did it sell for $41k?
👇 (it's obviously an SEO buy, but I'll explain)

Here is the March Namejet/Snapnames Auction Report of all domains over $2K sold at auction. The Snap list is big so you may need to blow up the pic 😃 Click for results A lot of the top names are SEO based, aged names which shows that market is only growing. NameJet was up 54% on domain units sold MoM and 94% on revenue. SnapNames was up 60% on domain units sold MoM and 60% on revenue.

Today marks a major milestone personally and something I have wanted to achieve for over a decade. I am incredibly excited to officially announce the launch of Winterline (Winterline.com), a new asset management company I've founded with my long-time friend and business partner, Sean Markey. Don't let Sean’s quiet nature fool you, he is one of the best in the industry when it comes to expanding a brand's online footprint and reach.
Between the two of us, we have spent decades in the trenches of the digital economy. Many of you have followed me here for a decade plus, so you know I have been in the domain space for nearly 20 years. I've owned and run businesses ranging from 50 employees to 2. Sean has spent the last decade plus working with major SEO firms and his private SEO group to master the art of high-level asset acquisition.
What is Winterline?
While Winterline is officially a brokerage, I like to think we are much more expansive than that. We specialize in the high-impact assets, both on and off-market, that actually drive modern business growth. We help individuals and companies navigate the buying and selling of:
Premium Domains: The foundation of your business and marketing.
Content & Traffic: Websites, SEO-focused properties, and high-value backlinks.
Audience Platforms: Newsletters and established social media accounts.
Modern Tech: Custom GPTs and emerging digital tools.
A significant portion of our work is handled with strict confidentiality. Whether it is a private acquisition or a strategic divestment, we understand the need for discretion at the highest levels.
Sean will be leveraging his deep industry relationships to lead our SEO and digital asset division. I will be focused on scaling our domain brokerage and building our capital investment arm. Our investment strategy is broad, ranging from individual premium domains to large-scale corporate investments.
Ready to buy or looking to sell? You know where to find us. We’re also open to collaborating with other brokers, if you have inventory that fits our buyers' needs, let’s get it in front of them.

@cultra @seanmarkey Congrats to all the founding partners. I love the name "Winterline," and the beta site is cool.

Sean (@seanmarkey ) ran a logo contest for Winterline.com, and of the 300 entries, we picked our favorites and overall favorite. My wife did the same thing. All 3 of us picked the same logo.
For the name, I used the method I always use.
What name and brands sound like a family office that is easy to spell, say, and remember? This was our choice. Plus, it feeds into my love of the mountains.
Proving a great brand can be many things, but you'll know it when you see it.

@AGreatDomain @Sullys_Blog Thanks Bob. I admit as a mountain guy it resonated more with me than Sean but it's grown on him and he's done a great job with the logo and website IMO
