Yesterday afternoon, I wrote about the domain names used by YCombinator’s group of Summer 2020 startups. The majority (by a hair) of companies use .com domain names for their websites, although this figure is likely down from previous years as mentioned by Doron Vermaat. One startup on the list that has its brand match .com domain name is Roboflow, a company that was founded in 2019.

Roboflow founder Brad Dwyer replied to a tweet to mention that his company recently published an article about how it acquired its brand match .com domain name after initially launching on a matching .AI domain name:

@DInvesting saw your article about YC domains. Good stuff. We actually wrote about getting ours recently: https://t.co/CoInAxwUYX

One of President Donald Trump’s campaign slogans for his 2020 re-election campaign is “Keep America Great.” It looks like former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democrat candidate for US President, is trolling the Trump campaign with the KeepAmericaGreat.com domain name:

President Trump doesn’t want a second term. He wants a do-over.

As he takes the stage tonight, remember: he alone is responsible for the chaos in our country.

Together, we can stop it. https://t.co/iKcrLuEC9N

YCombinator is a startup incubator that provides funding for early stage startups who apply to participate. Each year, YCombinator invests in two large groups of startups, dividing into Winter and Summer groups. The Summer (S20) group was recently revealed, and I thought it would be interesting to evaluate what domain names these startups have chosen to use.

There are 126 companies listed under S20, and 125 of the 126 had domain names listed. Notably, it appears that there were more companies than the 126 listed companies that participated in the two Demo days this week. I am not sure why there is a discrepancy, but I only looked at the 126 companies listed under S20 on the YCombinator website.
