I have a questions in my mind that i want to ask seniors here.

How can we find someone who is looking to build a company and needs domain ?

Networking, conferences, meetups etc

From my experience, small startups usually pick names and check their availability on GoDaddy
if not available, they just move on to the next one, because the last thing they want to do in a small startup is to spend $x,xxx on domains

Big startups, on the other hand, is just luck.

Any new businesses that I've had discussions with, know how to find you, not the other way around. Lets face it, they are generally of the internet savvy generation 20s to 30s age. They are also very willing to let you know they are a new business start-up in the hope of keeping the negotiations cheap. They do tend to have a real passion about the name they want to run with. But, once they know it's not going to be obtainable at $xxx, they tend to add just a prefix letter and hand-reg, (rather than change the naming they want). You can only hope they are really successful and come back in a couple of years
