Name Your Startup

Choose a name you can defend, spell out loud, and actually own — working from positioning criteria rather than word games, with live domain checks on the shortlist.

What you walk away with

A real document, built from everything you worked through — then critiqued the way a tough reviewer would and polished round by round. Plus a project summary that shows your work.

20 steps in the full journey.

The first 3 questions

This is where the conversation starts. Each answer shapes what gets asked next.

  1. 01In plain words, what does your product do? Not the tagline — what a customer would tell a friend.
  2. 02Do you already have a name in mind, or names you've rejected? Say so now — we'll test them properly rather than start from nothing.
  3. 03When someone hears your name for the first time, what should they feel? Pick two or three words — serious, playful, precise, warm, technical?

+ 15 more questions across discovery, validation, and the creative brief — each one adapting to what you've already said.
