You are at an early stage in your startup. A name change would not impact you negatively. In fact, this can be turned into a brilliant PR move if you play your cards right. I love this sort of scenarios, they are just amazing marketing opportunites. Much more for such a great product.


Agree. FWIW, our startup went through a similar early-stage name-change too. The backstory is here: http://willgrant.org/settle-is-now-droplet/


I'm guessing this is actually pretty common. We went through something similar as well:

We started as Snapier. Now Zapier. It appears very common.


Love Zapier.

Appreciate the support man!


Awesome, reading now. Love the new name.


Thank you. :)


I think has already turned in to a PR move.


Hey man, would love any ideas on how to get the word out!


Shoot me an email (profile). Discussing this publicly would reduce the impact of any strategy.
