Biography

Monte Cahn is Co-Founder and President of Right of the Dot, LLC, an Internet consulting and advisement firm specializing in new and existing TLD strategy, board advisement, premium domain and market positioning, sales and services.

Most recently he is Founder and former President of Moniker.com and former President of SnapNames.com, which together made up the Aftermarket & Registrar Division of Oversee.net, which also manages more than six million domains, and 117 ICANN Accredited Registrars. Oversee provides Domain Asset Management services, a complete set of business services that help clients manage and maximize the value of their domains. Monte became president of SnapNames and VP of Sales for DomainSponsor in 2008, shortly after Moniker was purchased by Oversee.

Monte has been pioneering domain name and virtual property aftermarket services since 1995, with an extraordinary focus on delivering customer satisfaction through specializing in Whois Privacy protection, Domain Monetization, Domain Escrow, domain name security, customer service, and value added products and services. During his time with Moniker.com, Monte helped many new and existing TLD’s of all types, have successful launches through registrar promotions, sales and auctions of premium domains, as well as continued marketing and sales support for those TLD’s through various touch points through the companies he operated and partnered with.

Monte has more than 23 years of experience in the healthcare, high technology and Internet fields. He is an aggressive and successful sales and management professional with experience in marketing and selling Internet services, intellectual property and domain names, as well as other online information systems and services.

He started investing in domain names in 1995 and helped start the first online domain brokerage business on the Internet in 1996. Success includes participating in the sale of more than $300,000,000 in domain name sales & brokerage, including the industry's first domain name sale for over $1 million dollars with the sale of Wallstreet.com and the industries first $2 million dollar plus domain sale with the sale of Autos.com in 1999.

Many feel that these two industry record sales were responsible for dot com buying and selling frenzy that started in late 1999. Later, he sold the highest dollar domain in history with the sale of Porn.com for $9.5 million and most recently the sale of Slots.com for $5.5 million. He is also the visionary behind Live and online Domain Auctions, bringing transparency and an open market mentality to the domain industry, and spearheaded the development of the only true Domain Escrow and Appraisal services available in the market. Monte has also owned several businesses and significantly contributed to the successful initial public offerings of Pyxis Corporation and MedicaLogic, Inc.

Consistently pioneering and inventing new products and services for the domain industry along with generating hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, Monte was voted into the 2010 Domain Hall of Fame by his industry peers.
