    You just brainstormed the perfect business name. You’re excited! You rush to buy the .com. Taken. Of course it is. They seemingly always are. But don't stress. You're in good company. Take a look at these companies who went on to raise ~$575 million without the .com... there's some gems in here. • Notion, June, Loops, Amie (.so) • Twitch (.tv) • Workspaces, Visible (.xyz) • ProductHunt (started on .co) • Levels (.fyi) • WordPress, freeCodeCamp (.org) • CodePen, Itch (.io) • Carrd, VSCO (.co) • Behance, SlideShare, Speedtest (.net) • About (.me) • Copy AI, Jenni (.ai) • Campsite (started on .design) • Graphy (.app) • Poolsuite (.fm)
