Radix's
Startup League Continued Its Ramp Up With Big
Presence at Web Summit in Lisbon
|
|
In
September
I told
you about Radix
Registry's launch of Startup
League, a startup-support
program designed to aid early
stage startups that use any of
Radix's TLDs to launch their idea or
company (Radix is a new gTLD
registry operator whose portfolio
includes .website, .tech,
.store, .online and .space
to name a few).
Startup
League took another giant step
forward this month with a
significant presence at Web
Summit 2016 in Lisbon,
Portugal - Europe's biggest tech
conference and the world's biggest
startup event. The show that ran
November 6-9 attracted 53,000
attendees and 1,500 startups
from around the world.
Startup
League sponsored
15 startup

companies
at
the event, paying 30% of each
company's booth fees, providing
branded goodies at the booths, public
relations support on leading startup
event portals and more.

The companies powered by the Startup League
came to Lisbon from three
continents - 11 from Europe
( including three from host
country Portugal), two from South America and
two from South Africa.
The
new companies operate their startups on a range of Radix TLDs
as shown in the full list at
right. Some of these companies
actually switched from a .com
to a Radix nTLD in favor of a
better name. Aera Windborne
is one such company that moved
from aerawindborne.com
to
aeracars.tech.

for the PITCH
- the startup competition at Web
Summit that brings the leading
early-stage startups for a live
on-stage battle - and one, NU-RISE,
made it to the semi-finals.

Boris van
Hoytema, Founder of the startup
Post.press said "The program, I think, is both great for us and for them. It helps us get to some of the events we so desperately need to be at to show the world what we’re making and to connect to people. In return they ask for us to show our brand to as much people as possible, as if we didn't want to do that already! Sounds like a great deal to me!"

Startup League
now has more than 40 startups onboard and
over 20 partners from the startup ecosystem. After WebSummit, Startup League is gearing
up to sponsor
TechCrunch Disrupt that takes place in
London at the end of the month,
followed in the new year
by CES in Las
Vegas, SXSW in
Austin and Launch in
San Francisco.
Radix believes that the Startup League is the best way to take new domains to startups and bring the
superstar entrepreneurs of tomorrow onboard the new gTLD bandwagon. Suman
Das, who leads the Startup League
initiative at Radix,
said "Startup
League was a great
success at Web Summit. We saw immense interest in the program
from budding entrepreneurs and also startup founders who already have a .com domain name. |

With
the vision we have in place for Startup League, we are sure the program will be very well appreciated by startups from across the
globe." |
