How did you choose your product/startup name?

by
Crewting is a mix of "Crew" and "Meeting". So share your thoughts behind your name and where you got the idea? In the shower or in the office?

My co-founder and I both went to West Point. As a cadet everything in your room is issued to you, except for one box you are allowed to keep in an overhead above your closet. In that box you were allowed to keep all the cookies, candies and treats that you could shove in and for a century that has been called a Cadet's Boodle Box. So boodle at West Point is highly sought after, hard to get and very expensive. boodleAI is helping people find more time in their day, time is always sought after, hard to get and very expensive!

@shawn_olds1 thanks for explaining. Cool story behind boodle. And sounds like you help to safe time, will check this!

"Paradigm" because we want to create a "Paradigm Shift" in AI. Similar to "Think Different" by Apple, to show that we're innovative in our approaches and ideology.

As our motto says "Test Everything, All the Time" - we wanted "testing" to be ingrained in the minds. So, when they hear TESTIFI (our company's name) it's clear: we're all about software testing.
Marvin Mändle
@dan_burns yes it's 100% clear, I agree. Thanks for sharing!

I'd recommend selecting a name that is: - A mix of easy to remember and meaningful name that catch the essence of what you're trying to accomplish with your business or Product. - Suitable for a global market if your product is intended for worldwide use. - Relevant and evergreen. In our case, we established a couple years ago a design and development agency called Devinweb: The name we came with is based of two words Devin (Dev in) or (Devin) and web: Which reflects our ambition to build great products on top of the web platform !
Marvin Mändle
@abdellah_abbous I totally agree with your points and thanks for explaining the story behind Devinweb!

By accident. For Keep Productive, I kept signing off videos like "have a great day and keep productive" so it spiralled from here.
Marvin Mändle
@francescod_ales nice! I think many names in business are built by accident or spontaneously.

We tried with a first name for a mobile app: HelloHola.app but then pivoted to a webapp for B2B. We decided to focus on our true mission: "Reach the entire world, Translate videos to put it in front of 8 Billion Viewers" So hello8.ai
Marvin Mändle
@garysz cool story! Hello8 is easy to unterstand and also really modern. Like it for a tech company. We also combine our mission with our name. Crewting - Turn isolated remote worker into deeply connected crews
Marvin Mändle
@garysz and good luck for your launch, will follow it!
Wylo - What you love We're a platform that lets brands and people run online communities for their needs and do what they love ;) so there you go.
Marvin Mändle

Co-founder says: "we're building an email platform, in Spanish we call emails Emilios". I jump immediately to GoDaddy to check availability.

@rbatista19 sounds great!
We played with the names "deco" and "code", since we are a open-source web editor. Btw, we are relaunching our product on April 2nd
Marvin Mändle
@beatrizlramos thanks for explaining and good luck for you relaunch!

Ahoy, fellow product hunters! Choosing a startup name is no small feat, right? Well, for Crewting, the process involved mixing "Crew" and "Meeting" to create a name that truly defines the essence of collaboration. The idea struck me in the middle of a busy workday - probably when my brain was desperately seeking a creative escape from endless spreadsheets. After all, inspiration can strike anytime, anywhere! So, what's the story behind your startup name? Let's share our naming adventures and perhaps inspire others in their quest for the perfect moniker. Cheers to the power of creativity and caffeine-fueled brainstorming sessions!

@thestarkster in my life it's exactly like you are saying. The best ideas come randomly during the day. In the supermarket or during a walk. One of our founders had the idea in the shower and everybody liked it. What is the story behind your startup?
