When a new company launches, the founders are often consumed by the excitement of product development, fundraising, and branding. They brainstorm names, design logos, and secure a primary domain, usually a .com if it’s available.

In domain investing, timing and foresight are everything. The ability to recognize a trend before it becomes mainstream can turn an ordinary investor into a visionary.
