I saw a VentureBeat article shared via Twitter about a company called Kin announcing a $47 million round of funding. The company has now raised “over $60 million” in funding. After clicking through to the article, I could see that this insurance startup was using the Kin.com domain name.

Founded in 2016, JetSuiteX describes itself as an “affordable private-like air travel for the cost of an airline seat with free snacks, drinks, bags and business class legroom.” Earlier this month, the company announced a rebrand to JSX, and it looks like the company was able to secure the brand match JSX.com domain name in advance of the rebranding.
Here’s an excerpt from the press release announcing the rebrand:
TechCrunch published an article about a venture capital firm’s aim to raise $140 million for its third investment fund. The firm is called A.Capital Partners. TechCrunch tweeted about the company and its news, and you can see how the company’s branding is displayed on social media:

The Boston Globe published an article about Christian Book Distributors, a company that branded itself as CBD before CBD became a household name for the popular and widely used, cannabidiol. The Christian book publisher and distribution company owns the brand match CBD.com domain name. Smartly, the company also owns ChristianBook.com, which it uses for its website. CBD.com forwards to ChristianBook.com.
There was an article published in TechCrunch this morning about a startup called Taster, which announced an $8 million round of funding. Crunchbase shows that this company has now raised $13.1 million in total funding to date. A quick search showed me that Taster operates on the brand match Taster.com domain name.
