AI startups love the “.ai” domain, but nobody heard about Anguilla, a tiny Caribbean island, just 15k people, which owns this domain. So far, around 400k “.ai” domains have been registered for ~$100 a year. This brings ~$40M ARR, which is roughly 10% of the island’s GDP! (my amateur calculation)

It’s located between the British Virgin Islands, which sell offshore companies, and St. Kitts and Nevis, which sell passports. Pirates’ archipelago, yeah :)

Meanwhile, a startup from another island just updated its “.ai” site. Cypriot and Greek realtors (and soon British ones) can now book a Placy Pro demo. Ready to see what our AI can do? Go 👉 pro.placy.ai
