[NickB]

Very nice write up imo..........

"There was a large number of domains purchased by startups in early to mid-2021, and that has provided a large amount of data even before the year has fully ended. This provides a wealth of data to see how VC-backed startups are viewing domain branding post-2020.

Some interesting new data points are emerging in this year’s data and they’re not only interesting for this report but also when looked at in comparison with the information from the previous years. "

Here’s what we will cover in this analysis:

1. Raw data of funded startups
2. Major insights from analysis
3. Takeaways for domain investors

This is very helpful @NickB, is there similar analysis on top extensions being used by startups?

Nice. Next year there will be a huge uptick in .XYZ domains for startups?

Been reading your posts in other threads and you really have the bit between your teeth with these xyz domain sales

We will see.......if you are well funded why are you going to pick xyz? There is a reason why .com completely dominated this list.......Majority of the time If a company has the money and the .com is available they will buy it.....

Would be interesting to breakdown the remaining extensions and see if the .com was available or not......

Oliver .space could not get the .com by the look it as it forwards to another company and they had $13 million in funding and went with a .space domain for example - wonder if they made an offer for it?

But....Bright Hire own the .com but are forwarding it to the .ai and they got $12.5 million in funding......

Well, I said that the words that were being bought were obscure.

Omg some meltdowns are going to happen . I thing it's the first thing they'd go for above any other extension.

If true there should be lots more .XYZ domains being used by startups...
