Difficult names "evoke cues of unfamiliarity and create a perception of high novelty, which is valued by these pre-venture stage investors," according to the study.
据该研究称,晦涩的名字“给人一种陌生和非常新颖的感觉,而这正是初期风投人所看重的。”
But don't go registering for that unintelligible URL just yet: The novelty wears off by later stages, when unique names can make investors feel uncomfortable.
但是,这种新奇性后期便会消失,这时别致的名字会让风投人感到不悦。不要急着去注册这个让人费解的域名。
Think about now-shuttered companies like Xobni, which was purchased in 2013 by Yahoo for $60 million, before being shut down just one year later. Then there are other departed startups like Oooooc, and Bawte.
想想现在已经倒闭的公司,比如Xobni,该公司在2013年被雅虎以6000万美元收购,一年后被关闭。还有Oooooc、Bawte等已经黄了的初创公司。
There is just not much of a benefit to having a unique name in later stages, according to the study. Investors looking at a company after it's proven to be successful — around the time of an IPO, for example — care more about accurate valuation, so linguistics have less of an impact on financing outcomes.
该研究称,一个别致的名字在后期对公司是没什么好处的。投资者们在考察成熟的公司时,比如对即将上市的公司,他们更看重的是精确的估值,所以在名字上咬文嚼字对融资结果的影响较小。
