Wall Street Journal names fresh TLD firm Donuts to Top 50 Startups

WSJ ranks Donuts #14 on list of top startups.

The Wall Street Journal just released its rankings of the top 50 venture-capital-backed firms, and fresh top level domain name firm Donuts made the cut.

It actually did better than just make the cut, landing at #14 on the list. It’s also the youngest firm on the list.

The firm has just eight employees but has raised $100 million. It’s the biggest top level domain applicant by far, throwing its hat (and money) in the ring for 307 top level domain names.

The rankings are based on a number of factors, counting previous success of the founders and investors on the board, capital raised, and growth in value.
