Team Internet CEO on latest milestones in Domains, Comparison, and Search divisions

Episode Summary

Team Internet Group PLC CEO Michael Riedl joined Proactive's Stephen Gunnion from the OTC studio in New York to discuss a series of major developments across the company's three divisions: Domains, Comparison, and Search. Riedl discussed a major milestone in the Domain segment, as Team Internet was selected by the Colombian government to operate the national top-level domain, .CO, through 2034. He called the deal "a major accomplishment" and said it felt like "knighthood in this industry", given the company's long history in top-level domain operations. Looking ahead, Riedl highlighted the upcoming ICANN round scheduled for April 2026 as a once-in-a-generation opportunity, stating that the company is already aggressively positioning itself for the next wave of top-level domain creation. Turning to the Comparison business, Riedl explained that international expansion is now the top priority. Following successful launches in Italy, France, and Spain, the company plans to go live in the UK and the US before Thanksgiving. Riedl said sales are already scaling fast across Europe, from Berlin to Barcelona. He also discussed ongoing work on an AI-powered shopping guide, which he said could transform how the company engages with consumers and increase retention. On the Search side, Riedl noted the company’s pivot from low-content ad sites to a network of content-driven portals has already reached a $100 million annualised revenue run rate. He said this “proof of concept” gives confidence that margins and revenues will ultimately match or surpass previous levels. Visit Proactive's YouTube channel for more videos.
