Four Domain Industry Execs counting eNom Founder Paul Stahura Form Fresh Venture

Venture in stealth mode, but deck stacked for fresh top level domain names.

eNom founder Paul Stahura, who sold his domain name registrar to Demand Media in 2006, has teamed up a number of other industry vets for a fresh venture notes GeekWire.

The stealth venture called Donuts Inc has raised $1 million as stated by SEC filings.

Former Network Solutions VP Jonathon Nevett is one of the firm’s executives. Nevett has been an active consultant for fresh top level domain names, which makes me wonder if Donuts Inc will be applying for fresh top level domain names.

The deck is certainly stacked with the credentials for such a play. Other members of the executive team include Richard Tindal, whose bare-bones LinkedIn profile still lists him as SVP of registry at Demand Media and Daniel Schindler, former CEO of CentralNIC.

Directors include members of venture capital firms TL Ventures and Austin Ventures.

This will be an interesting one to watch.
