About Open Sesame
Our journey started in 2008 with an idea to help first-time entrepreneurs build their digital brands and grow their businesses. Fast forward to today, we are still here working with hundreds of brands across the world with no signs of slowing down!
Our story
In 2008, entrepreneur and marketing tech expert Arvin Poole started Open Sesame with $50.
That’s right, fifty dollars.
Arvin had a simple vision – to “open doors and plant seeds” for first-time entrepreneurs. After 2 days of research that created over 50 different ideas for a business name, a light build came on and the name “Open Sesame” was the perfect fit for Arvin’s vision. Also in that same month, the new domain – .me (Montenegro) – was born. See where we’re going. The domain, opensesa.me, was available and it had a price tag of $50. Thank you Lord! 
Fast forward to today, Open Sesame has grown and transformed from early stage startup consulting to a SaaS platform and now a full service digital agency that has stayed true to the vision of connecting (open doors) entrepreneurs to opportunities (plant seeds) to help them build, grow and scale their digital brand.
