December's biggest lesson: Founders who bet early on ultra-premium domains are now calling them competitive advantages. From pre-revenue investments to scale rebrands, here's what happens when your domain matches your ambition.
Recent Brands Choosing Ultra-Premium
Leading companies are discovering that ultra-premium domains aren't just addresses—they're strategic assets that create lasting competitive advantages.
Clay.com — $100M ARR
Clay's founder made an "irrational" bet on an ultra-premium domain pre-revenue. Today at $100M ARR, he credits it as a competitive advantage that can't be replicated.
"We bought Clay.com before we had revenue. It felt irrational. Now it's a moat."
— Varun Anand, Co-Founder, Clay
Anything.com — The Rebrand
Upgraded from create.xyz to Anything.com. When you're ready to scale, your domain signals intent. An ultra-premium .com establishes authority and ambition. Your domain telegraphs where you're going before you get there.
Robot.com — 1.7M+ Tasks
With 500+ robots deployed and 1.7M+ tasks completed, they needed a domain that establishes category leadership. Not hype. Proof.
"It's about clarity. A name that matches the scale of what we've been building."
— Felipe Chávez, Founder & CEO, Robot.com
