Frequently Asked Questions

Should my startup name describe what I do?

Not necessarily. Many iconic startups (Apple, Amazon, Uber) use metaphorical or abstract names. Descriptive names help early discovery but can limit you if you pivot. A memorable invented word with a .com domain often beats a descriptive name.

How important is having a .com domain?

Very important. Customers default to .com, and lacking it creates confusion. If your ideal .com is taken, consider a slight name variation, adding 'get', 'try', or 'use' as a prefix, or exploring .io or .co for tech startups.

How do I know if my startup name is taken?

Search USPTO Trademark Database, check your state's business registration, Google the name thoroughly, and check social media handles. Domain availability is a quick first filter — if the .com is available, you're off to a good start.
