The naming challenge

Early-stage founders often pick names that are already taken, too descriptive to trademark, or impossible to say on a podcast intro. Investors and customers both pattern-match on name quality before they read your deck.

Who this is for

For first-time founders, accelerator cohorts, and small teams naming a new product, side project, or pre-seed company.

Common questions

What makes a good startup name?
Strong startup names are short, easy to spell after hearing them once, and flexible enough to survive a pivot. Avoid literal feature lists — you want a name that still works when the product changes.
Should I prioritize a .com for my startup?
.com is still the default trust signal for mainstream customers. Many startups launch on .io or .co and upgrade later. This tool shows availability across TLDs so you can pick based on what is open today.
