A fun behind-the-scenes domain acquisition story from a very happy @NameNinja client. Congrats to Akshay and the Notion team on getting their dream domain name! #domainnames #domains #startups #branding

[Akshay Kothari @akothari]

We're finally shedding the .so (thank you Somalia!), and using the .com for @NotionHQ. And for this beautiful moment, I want to share a fun story:

Back in 2018, I had just joined Notion, and one of the first things @ivan asked me to do was figure out how we could own https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. I had never done a big domain purchase before, so I reached out to a few domain brokers to understand the landscape. We tried different brokers, kept things anonymous, and attempted to surface a price the seller might consider.

A year went by… nothing. Meanwhile, it was pretty clear this was only going to get more expensive as we grew. We needed a different approach. A fellow founder connected me to a broker who took a very different tack. Less transactional, more long-term relationship builder. He spent months getting to know the domain owner. Turns out owner was a fellow entrepreneur in the west coast… and a huge Grateful Dead fan.

So we figured, why not get creative? Something beyond just price. So I called up our investor Ronny Conway and asked if there was any way he could help set up a private meeting between the domain owner and the Grateful Dead. Ronny is one of those people who somehow makes impossible things possible. A week later he calls me back: “New York City. Halloween. 15 minutes after the concert. Done.”

The broker went back to the owner with an offer: some cash, some equity, and a private meeting with the Grateful Dead. That got his attention. He didn’t take the band meeting in the end, but he did lean into the equity (great call, in hindsight). We shook hands, and a few weeks later, the deal was done.

I’ve been waiting years for the day we move our product to https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. Looks like 2026 is finally the year. Safe to say I’m unreasonably excited about this update!

We see what you did there! Absolutely brilliant (and legal) use of a clever domain name during the recent Air Canada labour dispute. Well played, flight attendants union, well played... #marketing #unfaircanada

In our experience, a large part of a domain broker's job in getting deals across the finish line is, yup, herding cats! Never a dull moment in our line of work... #startups #founders

First .ROCKS domain we've ever spotted in the wild (in Quebec City). Although we first thought this business was a nightclub, SPK is actually a startup-related ecosystem of various ventures. #startups #branding

This is either the worst brand name we have ever stumbled across ... or the best! Either way, you have to admit the name *is* memorable. ;+) #marketing #startups
