Tandem is a venture backed office marketplace that was in the Spring 2024 batch of YCombinator startups. The company is currently using Tandem.Space for its website, and it also owns TandemSpace.com. That domain name forwards to its website.
In a LinkedIn post over the weekend, Sean Miller, Co-Founder and CTO of Tandem, discussed the pros and cons of both of these domain names. He mentioned that the company has used Tandem.Space for a while, but they are considering a change to TandemSpace.com.
Tandem.Space is shorter and may seem to be more “cool,” while being on-brand for a company focused on office space. However, some people think operating on the .Space extension could make them appear “sketchy.” TandemSpace.com is a bit longer and less stylish, but it carries the credibility and familiarity of a .com domain name.
Sean asked people to vote on which domain name they think the company should use for its website. As of now, the vote is pretty well split.
They should acquire Tandem.com.
If not, TandemSpace.com.
Tandem.Space would be a marketing and branding nightmare.
