Michael "Zappy" Zapolin's New PrescriptionDrugs.com Website Chosen to Compete in Harvard Business School Contest

Michael "Zappy" Zapolin, who was featured in our September 2005 Cover Story about the Internet Real Estate Group, has just scored a major honor for his latest category killing domain 

name development project - PrescriptionDrugs.com. The Harvard Business School has selected Zapolin's written plan for the site as a candidate for the top prize in their "New Ventures" competition. As a result he will be heading to Boston in a couple of weeks to present to a distinguished panel of judges, with the goal of being selected as one of three semi-finalists who will move on to compete for the top prize.

Zappy told us, "PrescriptionDrugs.com's site is dedicated to helping people find the information, and discounts they desperately need.  The opportunity for PrescriptionDrugs.com is in the data that people provide us when they tell us about their ailments, symptoms, and current

medications.  This information is extremely valuable to pharma companies and doctors, when searching for clinical trial subjects, or when launching a new, or competing drug.  Case in point, it costs pharma companies more than $1 Billion to launch a new drug, and clinical trial patients are worth between $3,000 and $20,000 to a doctor handling a study."

Zappy added, "We are also very excited about the fact that Sanjiv Chopra, Dean of Continuing Education at Harvard Medical School has joined our board of advisors!

PrescriptionDrugs.com isn't the only major project Zapolin has underway. Many of you have heard about his InternetWarrior.com website that is designed to teach people the ins and outs of the domain business. The site offers Zappy's Internet Warrior hard cover book, two tutorial DVDs and an annual membership to the website for $39.95 (+ $9.95 shipping and handling). A free domain appraisal and a three-month trial membership to the InternetWarrior.com Insider's Club is also included. Insider's Club benefits include access to live coaching calls with Zapolin.

I just received a copy of Zappy's book (written with Alys R. Yablon) and after I read it I'll follow up with some impressions of it for you. 

Zapolin has been involved in the sales and/or development of some of the best generic domain names on the web, including CreditCards.com, Computer.com, Telephone.com, Diamond.com, College.com and Beer.com to name just a few.
