How to choose a great startup name
- 1
Optimize for the domain and handle from the start; a name you can't own online will haunt every launch.
- 2
Invented words (Zapier, Figma) are the easiest to trademark and the easiest to search for — nothing competes for the term.
- 3
Make sure it works as a verb or noun in a sentence your customers would actually say.
Frequently asked questions
- Should a startup name be descriptive or abstract?
- Abstract or coined names age better and are easier to trademark; descriptive names are clearer but limit pivots. Many successful startups pick an evocative name and let the tagline explain.
- Is a .ai or .io domain okay for a startup?
- Yes — .ai and .io are widely accepted for tech startups. Still, if you can get the .com, take it; it reduces lost traffic from people typing the default.
- How long should a startup name be?
- One or two syllables is ideal, four is the practical ceiling. Shorter names fit better in logos, app icons and headlines.
