TERM SHEET
A direct acquisition offer for the domain, drafted in the shape of the document you'll eventually be signing — for funds, studios, and syndicates who back the next hundred companies.
Parties
1
AlibabaGroup.ventures is a single, unregistered domain. No prior site, no backlink debt, no history to explain away — just eleven characters that already say what the company behind them does. ".ventures" is the plainest-spoken extension in the venture world: it doesn't need a "we invest in" line underneath it.
| Registrar | GoDaddy, transferable same day via registrar push or standard 60-day transfer |
| Structure | Outright sale — full ownership, no lease, no revenue share |
| Registration | Current and in good standing; no back orders or disputes attached |
2
Firms writing a founding narrative from scratch: a first-time fund raising its debut vehicle, an accelerator spinning out of a university lab, a family office standing up its venture arm, an angel syndicate ready to formalize into a name people can find twice.
| Fund websites | A home page that outranks a LinkedIn "About" section |
| Portfolio pages | Somewhere to list companies without borrowing a Notion template |
| Deal flow | An address worth putting on a pitch deck's last slide |
| LP relations | A domain that reads as established on day one, not day one thousand |
3
AlibabaGroup.ventures is one holding in a family of related listings under the same brokerage. Each trades separately; none are bundled unless you ask.
4
No auction, no bidding war — this closes with the first serious offer. Reach out and we'll send transfer instructions the same day.
