.capital — should you use it?
Generic TLD · introduced 2014
The short answer
The VC vanity TLD that actually works — name.capital beats namecapital.com for funds.Why it works
- Perfect for funds/VCs
- Reads as the natural phrase
Why it might not
- Narrow use case
- Mid-high price
The longer take
For an investment firm, the TLD completes the name grammatically. One of the best examples of a new TLD being strictly better than the .com contortion.
