riffraff. ehh. At what elevation do you reside?
Here's a bone. A recent funding that could have easily been reported. 3m in funding. riffraff reported by crunchbase.
DNgeek although a great resource reported two other .ai fundings in the same time frame but each only had 2m in funding.
Waaassupp
! One didn't have to go far to find this on crunchbase or many other news sites including one in this industry that launched my own research. If I'm not mistaken isn't DNgeek in hong kong ? Surely he could have heard about this in his area since the company is based in singapore and is associated with one of the hottest startup sectors Fintech/.AI? No dis intended at all. I highly respect DNgeek for his contributions. This is intended to emphasize doing more of your own research vs taking blogging as "true state of the domains"

After this you might think about relying less on "snapshots" and doing more of your own research going forward.
I can't emphasize this enough to anyone entering this market, in this market, or thinking about getting into this market, research,
research, research IN ADDITION TO "DOMAIN" REPORTING is the only way to cut thru the chaff and it's a rather appropriate term to use. Pre-New or otherwise extensions is the Pod or shell, Post-New or otherwise extensions are the seeds. Seeds have a natural tendency to grow. To me that is what the "G" stands for in New "G"s. That is where the New Growth will be. The pod/shell market still exists it's just not in the growth stage. MHO !
No one knows what "seeds" will thrive or die. It's not enough to rely on pod/shell experts in this changing market. Your own research in addition to insiders/experts will always be a more responsible approach to investing. 1 source reporting from 1 source and then being suggested as "state of the domains" is an incredibly flawed approach. riffraff.
