Lengthy anecdotes from a founder as to why their business exists in such exciting times is neat but, I've already done that here. Instead, here's a high‑level overview:

• I discovered the Megaman Battle Network video game series as a teen, which inspired my vision for a more advanced, 3D internet experience.
• I pondered creating my own TLD (top‑level domain) like ".space" or ".galaxy" but was deterred by the exorbitant $185,000 application fee from ICANN.
• I stumbled upon Handshake, a decentralized domain name system, which provides an open and accessible (and affordable) way to create new TLDs.
• Several of my dormant projects would thrive under their own Handshake TLDs.
• While major domain registrars like Namecheap and Porkbun sell Handshake domains, no one has made a turnkey system to sell domains on their own TLDs…beachfront/ exists because I needed this.

the future

• I want to see more diversity and creativity in web design, moving away from the "Fisher‑Price" aesthetic of many modern websites.
• It's kind of hyperbolic to say I want to help "save the internet" but…it is what it is. The way I can do that is by providing user‑centric alternatives to the current corporate‑fueled enshittification of our online ecosystem.
• My short‑term goal is to empower creatives with tools and services, while the long‑term vision is to realize the 3D internet depicted in Megaman Battle Network.
  
  Stop laughing at me.
