Merlin Kauffman is the founder of domain name investment firm True Magic, LLC and is a leader in the domain name industry with properties including Lookup.com, Conferences.com, Projects.com, FileSharing.com, Jig.com, Tabloids.com, iLoan.com, MesotheliomaLawyers.com and thousands more. Rather than simply selling domain names, Merlin has a long term mindset and is always open to discussing partnerships and other ventures.

Although True Magic is only 6 years old, Merlin is an internet veteran, as he was hired by America Online (AOL) at the young age of 11. As a senior in high school at the age of 18, he co-founded eWireless, LLC, sold his 50% share within a year, and went on to found True Magic.

Aside from entrepreneurial ventures, Merlin loves to travel and have a good time around the world – last year he spent more than 4 months abroad, traveling from Cannes, France to London to Stockholm to Ukraine (where he drove across the entire country from Kiev to Kharkov in one sitting) to Dubai (for a month) to Tokyo, Kobe, and Kyoto and then finally, back to Los Angeles. If there is a fun event or a social gathering in an exotic place, Merlin will hop on a plane and be there. Merlin also spent 3 weeks in Kenya, Africa last September with his friends and colleagues to lend his support to The Water School.
