New Service for Domainers Launched as a Result of TRAFFIC Vancouver

Left of the Dot Media introduced at TRAFFIC Test Track receives funding

Vancouver, BC – August 16^th, 2010 – Left of the Dot Media has successfully closed a funding round as a result of participating in the Test Track programme at TRAFFIC Vancouver. Test Track gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to present their business idea to a panel of high net worth investors in front of a live audience of experienced Domainers.

At TRAFIC Vancouver in June 2010, John Lyotier and Chris Jensen introduced Left of the Dot Media and answered questions from the panellists and audience. At the end of the session 3 of the 4 panellists expressed an interest in finding out more about the company. During the course of the 2 day TRAFFIC event several delegates approached the company for further details. By the end of the show a handshake deal had been reached with a private investor, for the full investment amount. After a period of intense due diligence the deal has now completed.

TRAFFIC organiser and industry leader Rick Latona: “We are delighted to see Left of the Dot funded as a result of TRAFFIC. Our mandate is to improve the domain industry and by facilitating great companies like this we create new opportunities for all portfolio owners.” The next TRAFFIC Conference takes place in Dublin, Ireland on August 24/25^th 2010 and some places are still available for people to pitch in the Test Track programme.

John Lyotier explained the importance of Test Track “It was important for us to launch Left of the Dot in a location where everyone understands this industry. The panellists asked great questions which helped us to improve our business plan and many delegates expressed interest. We were able to do a deal with a great investor who we see as a full partner in our business. I cannot imagine a better place to launch a domain name based business than Test Track at TRAFFIC”.

The Left of the Dot platform allows domain name owners to create a regular, sustainable income via monetising sub-domains, while substantially increasing the traffic, SEO and inherent value of the main domain name. The first name on the platform – www.Beef.com – was launched in early August and several over names are due for release in the next few weeks.
