three killers domain I own (and what I paid):

- kokua.com (5k) (to help in hawaiian)

- 20.com (70k) (20 means location on radio)

- aday.com (40k) (as in joke.aday.com, ".... A day.")

- lowimpact.com and noimpact.com (10k)... wanted to do a green blog.

If there were technical founders who wanted office space, angel backing and me as a founder/partner, I'd consider using one of the domains. You would have to be willing to live/work in Santa Monica (a really nice place to live fyi), I'd be open to any pitches....

i had my own ideas for each domain, but with Open Angel Forum booming (8 cities, 24 events a year... going to 12 cities, 36 events per year next year), Mahalo booming (20m uniques a month) and ThisWeekIn.com on fire (25 shows, $1m run rate, 14 employees in < 6 months) I'm too busy to lead new companies.

oh yeah, i'm hosting the launch conference on Feb 23rd and 24th and launching the email newsletter. so, that's like five companies in a year on top of my 15 angel investments a year.

ping me jason at mahalo.com




To add to what Jason said, I own 5g.com and would likewise entertain similar ideas/participation -- and would combine with other opportunities/partners for the right group: steve at radwebtech.com


I wonder if that name has some serious potential marketing for Sprint/AT&T/Verizon or whatever when their networks advance further. Already Sprint pushes "4G", and while it may be meaningless (or at least poorly representative), they might still be interested in that particular domain?
