I've identified Pitcbhook as a resource for researching VCs and thier portfolio companies, despite what seems to be expensive pricing.

I'm having a dilemma about my side project.

We decide for a name for our brand which seems to be quite popular and because of that the majority of the cool domains are already gone (ie: .app, .io, .com etc)

Now the one I'm really interested in is the .app which seems to have an owner but is not used at the moment, so i can try in make an offer to get that one, but I'm afraid this will cost us a lot of money for something probably not that important at this stage.

The project is growing and is getting traction but it's still considerably small, should we consider to re-brand now to find something which is available? Or wait to get this domain until it makes more sense/we have a better cash flow?","time":1606388749,"title":"Ask HN: Buy highly priced domain or rebrand?","type":"story"}],[24395628,{"by":"CoreSet","descendants":15,"id":24395628,"kids":[24395778,24399970,24397805,24396179,24395735,24415163,24396556],"score":21,"text":"I’m really interested in 23 and me and the general building-a-family-tree-via-DNA service, but, like a lot of people, are concerned about my genetic info being later resold.
