I'm interested in why you'd go with 'Treehouse' as the name considering the trademark space for educational content is already pretty cluttered for that term. Was this considered and dismissed?
- ryancarson 15y agoThere is a bit of clutter, in the traditional education space. However, there wasn't anything with a good online presence, so we thought it was a great name. Not going to be able to buy treehouse.com for awhile though, as they want $1m for it.
- tomwalsham 15y agoI was more angling at whether you're concerned about litigation/C&D from existing players defending their TM. It's a great name, but potentially provides an unwanted complication down the line.
- Tichy 15y agoAs a non-native speaker I wonder what is the relationship between "treehouse" and learning? Except that treehouses are typically being built by kids and kids usually go to school?
- ryancarson 15y agoWe chose it because people generally have good feelings towards Treehouses. Also, they're a place of wonder and fun. Finally, there wasn't anything already established with that name.
