Curated, not a catalog.

A small collection of highly brandable .com names chosen with actual companies in mind. Not bulk registrations, expired-domain leftovers, or AI-generated strings — these are hand-registered domains, acquired over two and a half decades as potential company identities.

Early startups have modest cash positions, so our model has evolved: a manageable initial payment plus equity or warrants. A startup secures a strong name without diverting early capital from building the business.

The collection reflects three decades of founding companies and developing products in medical imaging, genomics, software, and digital audio. Many of these names began as ideas I seriously considered building myself.

This model is an investment in your startup — it pays off only through your growth and an eventual exit of the equity stake. That creates aligned interests, but it also means we have to believe in the company. Not every company will be right for this path. If we pass, we'll tell you why.

Cash + equity structures considered Advisory involvement available with selected companies

No names match that search.

Venture-grade

Brandable names

Pronounceable, trademark-friendly, and unbound to any one industry — the classic startup naming market.

Physician-curated

The Anatomica Collection

Single-word anatomical Latin — clean, ownable brands for neuro, vascular, and surgical-device companies.

Life science

Genomics & precision medicine

The names where a physician-founder's read on the space adds real value. One primary spelling shown; defensive variants travel with the sale.

Adjacent spellings and defensive registrations (e.g. synthegenes, qualigenes / qualgene, geneofiles) are included with purchase where owned.

Neuroscience

Brain health

Including a small monopoly on the glymphatic system — a fast-moving research area with almost no clean naming left.

Medtech

Devices & therapeutics

Named for what they do — stents, ablation, vascular, oncology — and immediately legible to the right buyer.

Infrastructure

Deep tech & scale prefixes

SI-scale names spanning molecular measurement to satellites and data transport — a different buyer pool from the rest of the portfolio.

Sector assets

Purpose-built collections

Narrower names that feel almost suspiciously on-target to the right startup. Offered as sector assets rather than general brands.

AI & copilot imaging workflow

Intuitive names for imaging-AI products. Offered without any implied trademark clearance — "copilot" is broadly associated with a large software company, so clearance is the buyer's call.

Audio & publishing from the track record

Names in the lineage of BooksOnMP3 and Audiobooks.org — proof the portfolio comes from someone who has actually shipped in the space.

How it works

Structures that fit the stage

Not "premium domains." Venture-ready names paired with founder-friendly terms — because the price of the name should track the value it helps create.

Option one

Straight purchase

A clean cash transaction when that's what suits you. Installment options available on larger names.

  • Cash, one payment or scheduled
  • Fast transfer, no equity ties
Option two

Founder-friendly

A reduced cash payment plus warrants, so the name costs less up front and shares in the upside.

  • Lower cash + warrants
  • Warrant coverage set to the name's importance
  • Multi-year exercise, acceleration on acquisition
Option three

Venture-aligned

Minimal cash plus equity and, for select companies, an advisory role — positioning, naming, and early commercialization.

  • Minimal cash + equity or warrants
  • Optional strategic-advisor engagement
  • Terms tailored to financing stage

Terms are illustrative and negotiated per name and per company. Warrant coverage, exercise price, and duration are set against your current round or fair-market value. This page describes deal structures, not an offer of securities or investment advice.

Who's behind it

More than a domain transfer

Joopa is run by Douglas Bates, MD — a physician and repeat entrepreneur who founded or co-founded companies in teleradiology, medical imaging software, image sharing, and digital publishing, with several acquisitions and issued patents along the way.

That means a name here can come with more than a transfer. For selected companies, I can help evaluate positioning, naming, product strategy, partnerships, and early commercialization — and I can tell whether a name fits the business, not just whether the buyer can pay.

The public list is curated on purpose. A deeper private inventory is available when a specific need comes up — reach out and I'll search it against what you're building.

Found one that fits?

Tell me the name and a sentence about the company. I'll come back with availability, a suggested structure, and — if it's a fit — a few thoughts on the space.
