With combined experience we create “Cutting edge” Brand presence on the web.
We handpick, curate, and select the Best Start-up Names based on a variety of criteria such as
– Domain Length (Shorter the better!)

– Amongst other Key parameters like User-age appeal, relevant Industry appeal etc.
StartUpNames’s Name Analysts and Logo Designers create and position “The Brand” with:
– Stimulating Naming Conventions (Unique, Creative, Positive & Memorable)
– Logo Design (Distinctive, Inventive, Catchy & Vibrant)
Each of the brand names are created with the End Business users and their Customers in mind. Startup community needs foremost, a Good brand name to be competitive in the Marketplace. Also, equally important is that it HAS a matching URL.
It is important that your customer knows that you are “Invested in YOUR Business” and everyone today judges that very quickly! Venture Capitalists notice & decide, even before they even see the Presentation!
The single most respected business domain is a .COM extension. No exceptions sorry 🙂
Also, numbers or Hyphens in a Name is a Big No-No! As it just would not pass the Radio test.
Try saying Homes2Hire.com on the Phone, is it “two, to, or 2”? A spelling mistake in the URL would take the customer to the competitor’s page!
