The Importance of a Good Name Is Often Overlooked By Startups

Although $30,000 seems like a lot to spend on a domain name, it's a much better investment than a lot of the marketing expenses that venture-backed startups spend money on.

I liked simulscribe and spinvox sucks or at least their api does...for $200 they should have better documentation.
