Many investors have the misconception that Chinese companies use only Pinyin domains. On the contrary, I come across English-based domains regularly when reading Chinese news. Here are 10 Chinese startups I picked up from financial news just in June.
Brand Business Funding Domain
Airdoc AI-based medical care Series D Airdoc.com
Honor Trends Blood inventory control Series A HonorTrends.com
xCharge Electric car charging Series B xCharge.com
Lady Penguin Wine Series A LadyPenguin.com
dCarer Digital health care Series C dCarer.com
EcoFlow Eco power supply Series B EcoFlow.com
GenePoint Bio material storage Series C GenePoint.com
ChemExpress Chemical reagents IPO ChemExpress.com
Best Covered Alzheimer treatment Series A BestCovered.com
GensKey Genetic testing Series C+ GensKey.com
What can we learn from these domains? (1) .com (2) Brand-matching.
This means that if you invest in English-based .com domains, you still have a chance to sell to Chinese end users. Just make sure your domains are listed at a marketplace with retail outlets in China.
Also, if you see a domain not matching its Chinese brand, there is a possibility that the company will upgrade to its brand-matching .com.
