The sale was made by <b><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-miller-2732964/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Andrew Miller</u></a></b> (<b><a href="http://atmholdings.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>ATM Holdings</u></a></b> and Managing Director for <b><a href="https://hilcodigital.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Hilco Digital Assets</u></a></b>) with <b><a href="https://lumis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Lumis.com</u></a></b> representing the buyer. This is the 6th highest publicly reported domain sale since we began tracking the market in 2003 and just the latest of many landmark sales that Miller has helped orchestrate.</p>
<p>Acquiring this premier asset was a bold and decisive move by Davison who, based on his post, clearly believes in the go big or go home philosophy. Kennan stated, &#8220;<span class="break-words
 tvm-parent-container" dir="ltr">I know I’m not supposed to say this publicly, but<b> I want to make Icon the greatest company of all time. </b>I want to deliver insane value to our customers. I want to create <strong>generational wealth</strong> for my team and investors. I want to break the <strong>$0 to $100M ARR</strong> world record!&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span class="break-words
 tvm-parent-container" dir="ltr">Those are obviously lofty goals but </span><span class="break-words
 tvm-parent-container" dir="ltr">many of the greatest business success stories of all time began with the leader of a company understanding <b>how valuable a great domain name can be to the enterprise</b> in the long run &#8211; and acting to acquire it. So, we are in Kennan&#8217;s corner on this move.</span></p>
<p align="left"><span class="break-words
 tvm-parent-container" dir="ltr">Regarding Icon&#8217;s product, Davison describes it as &#8220;</span>the world’s first <b>AI CMO (Chief Marketing Officer)</b>: it can plan, create and run 1000s of winning ads end-to-end.&#8221; He added, &#8220;We&#8217;re backed by <b>Peter Thiel&#8217;s Founders Fund</b> and execs of frontier AI labs like <b>OpenAI</b> (ChatGPT), <b>Cognition</b> and <b>Pika</b></p>
<p align="left">No one knows exactly how the Icon story will play out from from here but, given Davison&#8217;s stated goals and this key acquisition of Icon.com, he has <b>commanded people&#8217;s attention</b>, guaranteeing a lot of us will be closely following the company&#8217;s iconic journey in the months and years ahead.</p>
