Welcome

You searched for Vacia.com.

I have held this domain for some time. Waiting for someone with a company that wants to define their market.

If that someone is you, let's talk

Vacia.com is part of Joopa — a curated portfolio of hand registered names, optimized for companies just starting out, who dream big.

If you've reached this page while naming a startup, you're in the right place.

For most start ups, a good name gets expensive at precisely the moment you need it. The week you leave stealth, announce the raise, or ship the thing — that's when the price moves, because that's when the seller learns how badly you want it.

Joopa's goal is to be a partner, not a roadblock, for start ups. Most names here go for a four-figure cash payment plus warrants — you keep your capital for the build, and I only do well if you do. If you're further along and would rather just write a check, that works too.

Why buy from Joopa?

Nearly every name here was hand registered.

Chosen one at a time, because each represented something worth building.

On the two prices.

The all-cash number is many times the four-figure one. That isn't a discount for founders I like — it's the difference between being paid and being invested. Cash is certain. A warrant is worth nothing unless you succeed.

Which is why that option is not available to everyone, but a cash price is.

About the founder

A physician who kept starting companies instead of stopping.

I'm Douglas Bates. Three decades across healthcare, radiology, technology, and digital media.

StatRad, acquired by I-MED Radiology. NeuroAlign CT, acquired by Cortechs.ai. BooksOnMP3.com, acquired by Books on Tape / Random House Audio. I also cofounded RadConnect, the predecessor to nucleus.io, later acquired by Change Healthcare.

I build things I think should exist. If you do too, perhaps we should work together.
