Donuts Inc to apply for 10 TLDs — Paul Stahura’s

eNom founder’s firm will apply for ten top level domains.

Update 6/5/12: Or maybe 307…

eNom founder Paul Stahura plans to apply for ten fresh top level domain names through his fresh firm Donuts Inc., Bloomberg notes.

Donuts raised $1 million in outside capital beginning in April of 2011. Based on the directors involved with the firm, it looks like TL Ventures and Austin Ventures are backers.

It was fairly clear to me from the SEC filing that the firm was formed to apply for fresh top level domains. This was confirmed with a trademark filing.

Stahura also testified on capitol hill in favor of top level domain expansion while he still worked for Demand Media, which bought eNom from him.

The application period for fresh top level domains begins Thursday.
