.capital vs .ventures
Verdict: it depends — and here’s exactly on what.
Both complete a fund name grammatically, which is the whole trick. .capital is one syllable shorter and slightly more institutional; .ventures says early-stage a little louder. Genuinely close — pick whichever reads better after your actual name, and say both out loud first.
