In the Spotlight: Sahar Sarid
Friday, 07 September 2007 08:12

Sahar SaridThere are many people I admire in the domain industry. One of them is Sahar Sarid, Co-Founder of Recall Media Group. His story is the best rags to riches and is sure to inspire any domain investor beginner in similar situations.

Just eight years ago, he was working as an ice cream man and shared a mobile home with his sister. He has survived many things, including moving from Israel to America just four years prior. He first learned the English language at age four and joined the Israeli Army at age 18.

Later, his mother met an American woman that changed their families lives forever. His mother and the women shared stories and the American told her that she could stay with her in New York. 

Sahar purchased his first domains on a credit card lent by his sister, Aliza, with a $20,000 credit limit. He later sold his first two-character domain in 2000 with a partner for a total of $200,000. 

Today, he is the co-founder of Recall Media Group, described on his blog as specializing in "search technology, innovative tech platforms, lead generation, and domain names". His current project involves a site called "Assista " which is a search engine powered by asking questions instead of using keywords.
