Based on 2,067 rounds where we resolved the company's live domain. Share change is in percentage points against the equivalent preceding window; because these are shares of one pool, several extensions can fall at once while a long tail of others rises. Click an extension for the companies on it.

Which extensions each vertical actually prefers

Asking for a vertical's top extension returns .com almost everywhere, because .com is most of the market. The useful question is what a vertical picks more than the market does, which is where the industry extensions show up.

.security in Cybersecurity
39.2× more common than across the market
26.5% of Cybersecurity companies, against 0.7% overall (13 of 49 rounds)
.health in Healthcare
10.6× more common than across the market
3.6% of Healthcare companies, against 0.3% overall (7 of 195 rounds)
.bio in Biotech
more common than across the market
4.3% of Biotech companies, against 0.5% overall (6 of 138 rounds)
.io in Cybersecurity
5.1× more common than across the market
20.4% of Cybersecurity companies, against 4% overall (10 of 49 rounds)
.ai in AI
more common than across the market
40.2% of AI companies, against 13.2% overall (145 of 361 rounds)
.io in Fintech
more common than across the market
7.9% of Fintech companies, against 4% overall (13 of 164 rounds)
.io in SaaS
1.9× more common than across the market
7.5% of SaaS companies, against 4% overall (19 of 252 rounds)
.ai in Robotics
1.8× more common than across the market
23.8% of Robotics companies, against 13.2% overall (10 of 42 rounds)

A vertical needs at least 25 tracked rounds and an extension at least 6 within it to appear, so a handful of companies cannot produce a dramatic multiple.

Did they get their own name?

Whether the live domain is the brand exactly, or a workaround the founders settled for.

Exact match 74.4% median $12M
Hyphenated 3.7% median $11M
Prefixed (get/try/join) 2.3% median $10M
Suffixed (app/hq/labs) 9.9% median $10.5M
Shortened 1.3% median $16M
Different word 8.4% median $9.7M
25.6% of funded startups are still on a compromise domain: a prefix, a suffix, a hyphen, or a different word entirely. Most founders pick the name first and settle for whatever is left, which is why the exact match so often goes to someone else. See what exact-match names cost →

Where the money is, and what it funds

Activity by country, and the industry mix inside each one. The bar length is how much of the tracked activity a place holds; the segments are what that money went into.

Naming the company that raises next

The names in this data set are the outcome of thousands of naming decisions. Atom is where the good ones get bought: 300,000+ hand-curated brandable domains, exact-match .com included, with the trademark screening and transfer handled.

Method. Rounds are ingested hourly from public funding coverage and structured by an AI extraction pass, then each company's live domain is resolved and split into its second-level name and extension. Naming archetypes are assigned by a classifier over the company name and domain. Percentages are computed only over rounds where the relevant field resolved, so the denominators differ by panel and are stated under each one. Amounts are as announced; undisclosed rounds are excluded from medians.
