Founder Curated Domains

DOMAIN NAMES FOR COMPANIES BEING BUILT.

I’ve been registering domain names for more than 25 years, usually with a particular company, product, or field in mind. Joopa is the holding company for that collection.

Many of these names were chosen while I was starting companies of my own. Some are broad, adaptable company names. Others come from fields I know well, including medical imaging, genomics, neuroscience, medical devices, software, and digital publishing.

The domains are available through a straightforward cash purchase. For selected early-stage companies, I will also consider a smaller cash payment combined with equity or warrants. This allows a startup to acquire the name earlier while saving more of the capital it needs to build the business.

I review every inquiry personally.

The case for now

Why acquire the domain early?

A domain becomes more important once a company has committed to a name, announced funding, or launched publicly. At that point, changing names is difficult and the company has less flexibility in negotiating for the matching .com.

Acquiring the domain earlier removes that uncertainty. An equity or warrant component can make that possible while preserving more of the company’s cash for product development, hiring, and growth.

Accepting equity or warrants means taking some of the same risk as the founders. I consider that structure when I believe the domain genuinely fits the company and I’m interested in what the founders are building.
