From early-stage startups securing their exact-match domain to global enterprises expanding into new markets — explore how our clients use Sedo's marketplace and broker expertise to make transformative acquisitions.
When Paysail — a Berlin-based payments startup — launched, their ideal domain was registered by a dormant holding company. Rather than settle for a hyphenated fallback, they engaged Sedo's broker team to negotiate a confidential acquisition. Within 6 weeks, the deal was done.
"Sedo's team handled everything — from initial outreach to UDRP risk assessment. We never had to make a single awkward call to a stranger."
Every domain has a story. Here are some of ours.
A fast-growing DTC brand used Sedo's auction platform to outbid three competitors for racks.com — a domain parked for over a decade. The rebrand drove a 47% uplift in direct traffic within 90 days of launch.
A seasoned domain investor with a curated portfolio of 40 health and wellness domains used Sedo's bulk listing tools and promotional placement to attract a private equity buyer. The entire portfolio sold in a single negotiated transaction over 22 days.
A €200M ARR SaaS company operating on country-code domains engaged Sedo to acquire their global .com counterpart. The confidential broker acquisition consolidated brand identity across 14 markets and reduced international ad spend by 22%.
A media holding company had accumulated 200+ dormant domains from past acquisitions. Sedo's portfolio management team categorised, parked, and listed the assets — generating $890K in incremental revenue without a single internal hire.
A developer who registered debtfree.io as a side-project domain listed it on Sedo for $14,800. An incoming buyer discovered it through Sedo's organic search traffic within 3 months — no negotiation, no broker fee, just a clean buy-it-now sale.
Ahead of simultaneous launches in France, Spain, and Italy, a Fortune 500 retailer tasked Sedo's enterprise team with acquiring localised exact-match domains. All three transactions completed within 30 days under strict NDA.

"We'd tried emailing the domain owner ourselves three times over two years. Sedo's broker had a signed purchase agreement in our inbox within four weeks. The domain is now the foundation of our entire brand."
"Sedo's escrow made it safe to send $320K to a seller we'd never met. Transfer was clean and instant."
"We got 12 inbound offers in the first month of listing. Sold for 30% above our asking price. Sedo's buyer network is simply unmatched."
"The broker explained our options, gave us a realistic price range, and never pushed us into a bad deal. Refreshingly honest."
