E392: Avi Schiffmann, 21 years old, just spent 72% of his funding buying the Friend.com domain name.
Avi paid $1,887,843.00 to buy Friend.com.
And he spent $200,000 on a video from Sandwich Video.
This was a crazy gamble that is paying off - Avi and his video are going super viral.
But there’s more to the story than this.
I share Avi’s insane background - which he thoughtfully and consciously leveraged - and how Avi is secretly a master at branding.
Crazy story.
