domains 2 Companies in Top 20 of Inc. 5000 Brand Themselves with .com in Their Brand Name

[DomainDepot]

Every year Inc. (Inc.com) releases a list of the 5000 fastest-growing private companies in America. I found it very interesting that two companies in the top 20 brand themselves as their dot com name: #9 Scientist.com and #19 Calm.com (see attached screenshot). I couldn't find any information directly about the purchasing of the domain names. Does anyone have any further information?

Would be curious to hear people's thoughts.

You can see the full Inc. 5000 2018 list here:

Scientist.com

• It appears that they rebranded from Assay Depot and worked with WorldAccelerator.com (as reported by DNJournal): http://www.dnjournal.com/archive/lowdown/2018/dailyposts/20180629.htm
• Rebranding: https://www.scientist.com/2016/06/05/assay-depot-rebrands-as-scientist/

Calm.com

• They appear to have raised significant amount of money: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/03/26/cal...on-from-insight-at-250-million-valuation.html

Would be cool to know how many of these owns their matching .com and how many are using ngtlds.
Tough work to do it manually
