Big funding, big domain buyout.

Security analytics firm Panther Labs has just performed a major domain name upgrade.

Founded in 2018, Panther Labs has a mission to “make security monitoring fast,” as stated by its website. The team behind Panther Labs, which now consists of 100 employees, has created a valuable service used by some of the world’s most recognizable brands, counting Dropbox, Zapier, and Coinbase.

Its 300% client base growth in 2021 has helped the firm raise $120 million in Series B funding. As stated by a Panther Labs press release, this now puts the firm at a $1.4 billion valuation.

While the majority of Panther’s fresh capital will reportedly go towards accelerating product development, the firm has seemingly used some of that funding to upgrade its domain.

As stated by Whois data, Panther Labs, which right now operates on RunPanther.io, has purchased the phenomenal domain Panther.com.

The buyout, spotted by DomainInvesting.com’s Elliot Silver, is an notable asset for this online firm to own, especially considering its recent admission to the Unicorn club.

Panther has had a rewarding start as a B2B service provider and as a young firm, RunPanther.io suited the firm well.

For its expansion plans, upgrading to Panther.com is a logical step. Since its website is essentially the firm’s shop window, it makes sense for Panther to display its shopfront on its exact-match .com domain, Panther.com.

Panther.com has a sense of permanence and instant trust that RunPanther.io lacks.

Interestingly, Panther Labs purchased Panther.io earlier this year but still opted to acquire Panther.com.

As stated by DomainIQ’s WHOIS history tool, Panther.com was previously owned by Reflex Publishing, Inc. This Florida-based firm owns an enviable set of domain names, counting LN.com, High.com, and Apply.com, to name just three.

Reflex Publishing is not known for parting with its domain names, but audio app Clubhouse managed to acquire Clubhouse.com from the firm earlier this year.
