The Importance of a Good Name Is Often Overlooked By Startups
- henning 19y agoTheir competitors have $200 million? What the hell do you with that much money? Snort coke and munch on dodo egg omelets?

- nazgulnarsil 19y agoI think with that much the lawyers can afford straight up coke.

- dshah 19y agoAlthough $30,000 seems like a lot to spend on a domain name, it's a much better investment than a lot of the marketing expenses that venture-backed startups spend money on. The key is to have something simple, memorable, unambiguous and differentiated. You don't have to spend $30k to get that, but at least they picked something that works. Cheaper than hiring a high-and branding firm too.
