Bill
Karamouzis Buys MathGames.com for $725,000 to
Launch His Groundbreaking New Company
TeachMe, Inc.
|
In
our latest
Cover
Story that was published just
minutes ago, Bill Karamouzis revealed
that he paid $725,000 to acquire
MathGames.com to use for a new
website that is the first offering
from his revolutionary new children's education
company TeachMe,
Inc.
Karamouzis
was first profiled in our March
2010 Cover Story after he shocked
followers of the domain aftermarket by paying
$350,000 for CookingGames.com. Many
thought he was crazy to pay so much - and
he was - crazy like a fox.
As an experienced and very successful developer
of Internet games, Karamouzis knew
something no one else did - that
CookingGames.com could provide the foundation
for a very successful website. That is
exactly what he turned it into as he grew his
company, Hallpass Media, into such a
powerhouse that within a year gaming giant MindJolt
came along and bought the entire company.

Karamouzis, Co-Founder
TeachMe/MathGames

With
his latest startup, TeachMe, Inc., Karamouzis is
now aiming to do something much bigger.
With Math
Games and TeachMe.com
(a name he acquired for just $50,000) and
a new partner, fellow internet gaming pioneer Rhys
Jones, the new company believes it can
completely revolutionize children's
education. If it works it would be the home
run of all home runs for the Canadian domain
developer. You can read exactly why he
thinks he can do it here:

As for
the MathGames.com purchase - that will be
charted in our next weekly
domain sales report Wednesday
(August 6) when it will also be added to our Year
to Date Top 100 Sales Chart. It will
enter that elite list as the 2nd biggest sale
reported so far in 2013, trailing only 114.com,
a name that sold for $2.1 million earlier
this month. With MathGames.com, the domain
aftermarket will also log its 7th consecutive
week with at least one six-figure (or
higher) sale reported.
