If you watch Shark Tank, you must know about Kevin O’Leary, aka Mr. Wonderful. Mr. Wonderful is a prolific investor who has invested in many companies across many different industries. He has some tech investments and recently discussed some of his crypto-related investments and holdings.
Radix has hired Mr. Wonderful to pitch the .Fun domain name extension it operates. Here’s what Mr. Wonderful had to say about .Fun domain names:
If a company is going to use a non .com extension, it will serve the business well to incorporate the extension into the brand name. Spanning the dot with the brand name will help hammer home that the extension is part of corporate branding. This should help reduce consumer confusion when they want to visit the website or connect with the company online.
TechCrunch published an article this morning about a company called A.Team. As you can see, the company is using a .Team domain name and its brand name spans the dot:
Radix is one of the largest operators of domain extensions including .Site, .Online, .Store, and several others. Radix posted a job opportunity that could be of interest to someone from within the domain name industry. Radix is looking to hire a Sr. Manager of Business Development, with a focus on the North American market. I noticed the job listing on LinkedIn.
Here’s a clip about the job:
“Radix is looking to hire an experienced Business Development and Partnerships professional to drive higher win rates of large strategic marketing & brand partnership deals in the US market.”

According to the screenshot, the buyer is Domain Licenses Limited and the seller is eName Technology, Co., Ltd. The sale date is not shown in the Escrow.com screenshot. Using the Whois History tool at DomainTools, it would appear that the transaction was from 2020. The Whois record for the domain name appears to have changed from a China-based domain registrant to Domain Licenses Limited in August of 2020.
