> 100% of the top 20 YC companies by valuation have the .com of their name. 94% of the top 50 do. But only 66% of companies in the current batch have the .com of their name. Which suggests there are lessons ahead for most of the rest, one way or another.
Compared to the article:
> Today, only 42% of Y Combinator startups in the winter 2023 batch use a .com domain, while only 40% of the most popular Product Hunt startups used a .com in 2022.
which supports the assertions in the article. It's still true that there are only 3 YC companies in the top 50 that don't have a .com, so maybe the lesson is "just plan to buy the .com later"!
