We cover the cost of your .tech domain for 10 years—the standard lifecycle of a domain—so long as you use it as your startup's primary domain name and meet the usage terms. After that, you'll have the option to renew it at your own cost.

To keep your sponsored .tech domain for the entire 10-year duration, you must:

• Use it as your startup's primary domain.
• Start using it within 4 months of receiving the domain name. If not, it goes back into the program.
• The domain name must remain your startup's primary domain name, throughout the 10 years. If not, sponsorship may be revoked.
• Do not redirect, park, or resell the domain. All of these will result in the sponsorship being revoked.
• The sponsorship covers costs for the domain for 10 years—the standard lifetime of a domain. After that, you're free to renew it on your own.

This is for serious tech founders only. Here's what we look for:

• Tech-first startups. Whether you're building in AI, SaaS, devtools, Web3, infra, or anything with tech at its core.
• Any stage, but actively building. Idea-stage is welcome. So is post-funding—if you're looking for a great domain or switching to one, this is your shot.
• Clear intent to launch. This domain is for going live—not for parking, redirecting, or reselling.
• Credible founder track. A strong track record in tech or startups helps us understand your build potential.

Bottom line? We're backing founders with skin in the game and tech at their core. If that's you, we want to hear from you.

Founders can apply for the domain name they want. It could be an exact match for your startup's name or a high-value .tech domain—short, memorable, and often priced in the 4–6 figures range.

Because they're rare and high-signal. Short, memorable domains build instant credibility. This makes them competitive and expensive, often in the 4–6 figure range.

Most .coms are taken or priced out of reach. Through this opportunity, you can get the domain name you want on .tech, sponsored for 10 years. No vague branding. No hyphens or workarounds. Just a clean, unmistakably tech name that tells investors, users, and search engines: you are building a startup with tech at its core.

Absolutely. From VC-backed startups to global product launches, .tech is used by 500K+ builders worldwide.

If tech is at your startup's core, .tech is your signal. Your domain name should say what your startup does—right from the start.

You can, but this opportunity is focused on supporting founders with highly promising tech startups or ideas—not portfolios or personal pages.
