Act 1
In 2001, a young Californian entrepreneur, Benjamin Padnos, bought what would nearly 20 years later, become an idea to improve the world. He purchased a number of domain names, ones he thought he might be able to turn into businesses. One of them was done.com.
This was the inception of our story.
Ben wasn’t quite sure exactly what to do with it at the time, but he called his company “DONE! Ventures”. Having spent 4 years working at Yahoo! among the first 200 employees, Ben knew the potential of the Internet was limitless, and that domain names would someday become valuable “Internet real estate.”
