Canva.com, the online graphic design editor, tops the list this week with a $200,000,000 funding raise. That’s a whole lot of Instagram banners! Fun fact: Canva.com was first registered in 2004 according to the Wayback Machine. It sold on Sedo for $2,632 USD in 2012. Safe to say that it’s probably worth a whole lot …

Top name on the list this week, Geely.com, a Chinese multinational automotive company. “Zeekr, the electric vehicle brand …

Top name on the list this week, ProbablyMonsters.com. As Forbes’ headline says, “ProbablyMonsters Raises $200 Million In Record-Breaking Series-A Game Funding”. Great name too. I’m not a gamer but I can certainly appreciate a brand name like this. What’s your fav name/company this week? Funding Breakdown: Average funding: $9,359,850 Total: $2,190,204,972 Median: $3,547,755 TLD Breakdown …

What? No $Billion+ funding this week? The VC’s must be taking an end of summer vacation. I guess money does sleep. No surprises in the TLD breakdown with .com, .co, .ai and .io taking the top four spots. A standout domain name this week, Discourse.org. It’s interesting that they also own Discourse.com which redirects to …

The top funded Domain from this past week, by a huge margin, is DataBricks.com with $1.5 Billion(!!!) in VC funding, probably because they sprinkled some AI pixie dust on top of their data platform. The Enterprise Data/Analytics space is huge, obviously. Even with consolidation and buyouts amongst the big players there’s still room for growth …

$5 million in seed funding for 4401.earth. They’re in the carbon capture space (and the money capture space obviously) so that TLD makes sense. For fun I looked up 4401.com and it’s been registered since 1999. It may have changed hands a couple of times according to whois records and currently resolves to a Chinese …

$30 million in funding for a company with a .email domain, Titan.email ! From their site: “Titan raises $30m from Automattic to build the future of professional email” Who says email is dead? (Well, you’re clearly wrong). Lots of ccTLDs this week, the top one a $2.4 billion buyout of OpenFibre.it by a private equity …

Another week, another $25.2 million dollar average funding deal size across 200+ companies. Most of them were .com related, with .IO, .AI, and .CO bringing up the rest of the TLDs worth mentioning. Also, a domain hack! See if you can spot it. The more-than-2-TLDs breakdown in this week’s list: .com – 135 .io – …
Another week, another just mind boggling amount of money invested into companies with some really terrible domain names (because many of them with “get” or “my” or “go” modifiers can’t get their .com because A WHOLE EXISTING COMPANY is built on it. Seems like a questionable move, but what do *I* know? Average amount of …
Some thoughts: Anthropic (of or relating to humans) is an AI company that raised $124m. Kind of an obscure dictionary word, so I love it as a brand. HelloResolve.com just raised $60m, but they don’t have Resolve.com, which currently, er… resolves to a “coming soon” page for a physician job search. I have to imagine …
