According to the seattletimes.com, entrepreneur Naveen Jain who founded Intelius and InfoSpace, has raised $6.7 million from investors for his newest venture, BlueDot, “which aims to form health-care and energy businesses from federal research”.
The company uses the new gTLD Blue.Tech for its website.
The domain name Blue.Tech was acquired in a private transaction from the .Tech registry which is owned and operated by Radix.
“BlueDot pays to license research that comes out of NASA and national laboratories within the Department of Energy and other agencies, Blue Dot then plans to spin out companies dedicated to specific technologies that have the potential for “big social impact.”
Blue.tech comes as a second big win for .tech, as it quickly gains popularity on the startup scene
Earlier this year in February, the winners of the Launch Hackathon ( in San Francisco) also used a .tech domain for their project, betagig.tech.
The start-up was the official winner of the Launch Hackathon and took home $250,000 as an investment from the event organizers.
The .tech TLD has also seen usage from popular & leading brands including CTA (the organizers of CES), Microsoft.
CTA showed off its brand new URL cta.tech at SXSW.
Microsoft is using the premium domain rewards.tech for its tech rewards program that helps developers hone their tech and programming skills.
