AngelHack Adobe Hackathon

admin — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 02:57:18 +0000

We’re hanging out today and tomorrow at a hackathon in the San Francisco Adobe offices. The event is being put on by AngelHack who regularly put on hackathons with the goal of getting startups angel funding. The first prize this time is a seed investment from Startup Labs of $15k – $150k, including a three week visit to their incubator in Taipei, Taiwan.

There are a number of great sponsors at this event, including GitHub, Klout, box.net, Wilson Sonsini, yetiZen, DocuSign, Adobe, BlackBerry, and PoepleBrowsr. For entrepreneurs looking for a place to start, this is a great place to be.

As for us, we’ve met a number of entrepreneurs who have asked for domain advice and we’ll continue to attend these events as long as there’s free beer and domain questions.

TechCrunch Presentation

This was our presentation yesterday at TechCrunch Disrupt. The presentation is for Job2.com, a website we developed completely from scratch in less than 20 hours. In hindsight that sounds nearly impossible, but looking back we worked furiously to get it done.

Some of Our Domains

A few people at TechCrunch Disrupt were asking about our domain portfolio, so we put together a list of our most brandable domains that would be most appropriate for startups.

The Blur of TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon

admin — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 03:03:04 +0000

My first TechCrunch Disrupt, my first Hackathon. We launched Job2.com, a social marketing and auction website for job seekers. It is primarily for Silicon Valley tech workers who are in high demand right now and who are looking for a way to solicit or manage competing job offers.

I’ve been up now for 36 hours, still shocked that we launched the site in under 20 hours starting from absolute scratch. Getting admission to the rest of Disrupt is a nice plus and I’m looking forward to more mingling with the startup community.

We will definitely be present at the next Disrupt, using our domain portfolio to launch the next generation of startups.

We are hanging out with all the developers at TechCrunch Hackathon. Lots of startups, lots of developers, lots of fun! They are saying there will be over 1,000 hackers working towards a number of prizes. There are also a number of hackers who haven’t decided on names. If you need a name, drop us a line!

Street Domain Names

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any news, but today I finished launching the portfolio of domain names based on streets:

StreetDomainNames.com

There are over 100 names in the portfolio with annual traffic in the 10,000′s. It was a project I came across through my research on degree domain names and have enjoyed watching the space grow over the years.

Site Redesigned

Our old site was a little boring, so we are trying to add more information about our various domain name portfolios and consulting services.
