Customers & Outcomes
From Y Combinator's W21–S24 batches to Product Hunt's top launches of 2023 and the Indie Hackers Creator Cohort — the founders using AvailableDomain to find, monitor, and secure the names that move their work forward.

YC W22 founder · pre-seed AI ops startup · launched as tidegrove.com
Maren had three weeks between incorporation and a Y Combinator interview. She had a product. She didn't have a name that didn't already belong to a defunct 2007 SEO shop or a parking page.
She ran forty variations through AvailableDomain in an afternoon. Twenty-six were taken. Two were dropping inside the week. tidegrove.com came back clean, with a Brandability Score of 87 — short, pronounceable in five languages, and clear of trademark red flags.
She clicked "monitor" on the two dropping names anyway. One of them cleared at 03:14 local time. By 03:15 it was hers.
Tidegrove launched on Product Hunt eight weeks later. It held the #1 slot for 36 hours and closed its seed round inside the quarter.

Case vignettes
Short, named outcomes from the cohorts you'd most likely compare yourself against.
Nomenclature Studio was hired to rebrand a Series B fintech whose inherited name had a 1.2% direct-navigation rate and a USPTO opposition on the horizon. Using the Brandability Score across 60 candidate pairs, the agency narrowed to four, monitored for drops, and shipped fairhaven.capital at launch.
Kai had been tracking four names for eleven months. One cleared on a Tuesday night at 03:11. He was on the drop alert inside forty seconds, registered inside ninety, and launched fraywork.com on Indie Hackers the next morning. Twelve months in: $11.4k MRR.
The Tidemark team ran their shortlist through twelve rounds of availability + risk + phonetics checks before settling on a name that held up across English, Spanish, and Mandarin speaker panels. Launched at #4 on Product Hunt in their batch week.
A Denver-based investor rebuilt her entire monitoring stack on the AvailableDomain API after sub-second drop alerts replaced her previous overnight polling script. Median time-to-capture dropped from 14 hours to 41 seconds; resales cleared $612k in 2023.
In their words
“The five hundred millionth availability check belongs to someone in our batch. AvailableDomain turned a name search from a weekend of browser tabs into a single tool that actually closes — we registered our launch domain at 3 a.m. on a Tuesday and forgot about it until the Seed deck.”
