Frequently Asked Questions
Why join the Founders Club?
- Your Founder badge appears on all your listings, signaling serious seller status to buyers.
- Founders get priority response in support (average: 2 hours vs. 24 hours).
- Lower badge numbers (#001 to #025) may gain early access to beta features.
- Your Founder number becomes part of your professional domain seller identity.
How is the $10K portfolio value calculated?
- You submit: Import your portfolio via CSV with your existing valuations from any recognized appraisal service (Estibot, GoDaddy Appraisals, etc.).
- We analyze: Our AI evaluation cross-references your submitted values against market data, recent comparable sales, keyword trends, and extension performance.
- Quick review: A specialist manually reviews the AI assessment for accuracy and fairness.
- Decision: If your portfolio meets the $10K threshold, you are approved.
- The entire process takes 24 to 48 hours.
Note: We accept valuations from any reputable source. Our goal is confirming serious seller intent, not challenging your pricing.
Can I add more domains after joining?
Absolutely. Add unlimited domains to your portfolio. All listings receive the same 7% rate and priority matching.
What happens during the 30-day onboarding period?
All new members have 14 days to list their first domain and a full 30 days before activity tracking begins to familiarize themselves with the platform. Inactivity rules do not apply during this grace period.
What if I do not get an offer in 180 days?
- Your listings enter our Liquidity Boost program at 120 days with enhanced promotion.
- You will receive email alerts at days 120, 150, and 170 showing Liquidity Boost performance and time remaining.
- At least one active listing must receive an offer every 180 days or you lose your seat and your account reverts to the 10% standard rate.
- Founders Club seats cannot be reinstated. Your seat is reassigned to the first person on the waiting list.
What is an active listing?
A verified domain with public pricing or Make Offer enabled, fully accessible to our AI matching system. Both pricing models qualify. Make Offer listings typically receive 2.3x more buyer inquiries.
What is Liquidity Boost?
Liquidity Boost includes priority placement in buyer feeds, inclusion in weekly curator picks, and targeted outreach to relevant buyer segments.
Do I have to accept every offer?
No. You control all pricing and negotiations. The requirement is for your listings to generate inbound buyer interest (offers), not completed sales.
How are Founder numbers assigned?
- Chronologically, in order of approval.
- If you care about a low Founder number (for example, #012 vs. #087), apply immediately.
- Once seat #095 is filled, there are no more numbers to assign. Your Founder number is permanent and cannot be transferred.
What happens to my domains if I lose Founder status?
- Your Founder badge is removed from your profile.
- Your commission rate reverts to the standard 10%.
- Your Founder Club seat is reassigned to the first person on the waiting list.
All your existing listings, buyer connections, and transaction history remain intact. You simply operate as a standard seller moving forward.
How does the waiting list work?
After seat 95 is filled, serious sellers can join our waiting list. If a Founder loses their status, the first person on the list is notified and has 72 hours to claim the seat.
What if I get sick or have a family emergency?
Contact us within 30 days of your activity deadline. We offer one 90-day hardship extension per year.
What if my portfolio gets tied up in legal disputes?
We pause your activity requirement during documented legal holds. Your Founder status is protected.
