Confirmed: Fresh Paul Stahura Venture “Donuts” is for Domain Names

Stealth venture files trademark application indicating fresh domain name venture.

This past weekend we learned that four domain name industry vets, counting eNom founder Paul Stahura, were forming a fresh firm called Donuts Inc. The firm raised regarding a million dollars of investment. Although the firm is in stealth mode, the players involved make me think the four are starting a venture related to fresh top level domain names.

A trademark application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office confirms that the firm will be going following the domain name market — but doesn’t clarify that it will be for fresh top level domain names.

Donuts Inc. Executive Vice President Jonathon Nevett filed a trademark application on May 1 for “Donuts” for “Domain name registration services; Registration of domain names for identification of users on a global computer network”.

My money is still on fresh top level domain names.
