Make the product first, then buy the domain outright.
If I recall correctly this is what Facebook did. They started out as thefacebook.com and then made the switch once they had money/success.
- rms 17y agoGod knows how much that cost them though... Dropbox is in a similar situation and is going to have to pay millions (in equity?) for their domain. To the submitter -- I don't think it's an inherently bad idea because domains certainly have value. Mint.com anyone? However, the legal issues here are basically insurmountable on your budget, you don't want some random non-accredited investor holding shares in your startup.
