sales COM matters : Grocery app maker InstaShop sold in a $360 million deal

[Acroplex]

InstaShop started humbly, with a ccTLD of the United Arab Emirates.

A couple of years later, the grocery app maker acquired its matching .com and yesterday announced its acquisition by Delivery Hero in a deal worth $360 million dollars.

Would they have achieved the same growth if someone else used/parked the matching .com?

Dot com is having heft due to the scale they achieved over past 3 decades. It will be king for a foreseeable period ahead.

Com matters, many startups that are passing up on the com might find themselves needing to pay 1000x more for it later on.
