Austin firm with $57 million in funding uses .CASH domain

Austin firm with $57 million in funding uses .CASH domain

Another big firm has chosen an alternative to .com.

I was reading a story this weekend regarding Dosh, an Austin startup that recently raised $44 million. It has raised $57 million in total, as stated by Crunchbase.

The firm lets you link your credit cards and get cash back when you make purchases at certain firms. The idea is nothing fresh, but the firm seems to be executing well; investors include PayPal and millions of users have registered this year.

How does this relate to domain names? Well, the firm uses the domain name Dosh.cash.

Dosh is an app-only play, and if you go to Dosh.cash you will be urged to download the app.

This is a case of the top level domain name nicely complementing the purpose of the business.

Another Austin firm with healthy backing–$33 million in total–uses the domain name Data.world.
