Serial Entrepreneur Bhavin Turakhia Strikes a Deal With Squarespace That Will Put Titan Email in Front of 40% of New Domain Owners Worldwide

In the more than 20 years that have passed since I first met industry pioneer Bhavin Turakhia, the serial entrepreneur has had an astonishing level of success, reaching billionaire status while establishing one innovative new company after another in the domain world and well beyond it. Bhavin's journey started in 1997 when he and his broker Divyank launched Directi, a web-hosting, domain registration, and ad-tech group that they sold for $160 million in 2014. The year before that, Bhavin started the new TLD registry operator, Radix, that everyone in our industry knows so well today. Next-gen banking technology company Zeta followed in 2015, then Bhavin set about revolutionizing business email with Titan in 2018 (and that's still not all - just 3 months ago he launched AI work platform Neo, a product that centralizes context, captures knowledge and weaves AI into every workflow).

With that portfolio, Bhavin and his creations are constantly creating headlines and closing major transactions. The latest news just came from Titan, with the company announcing a new strategic partnership with Squarespace, the all-in-one platform for building and running a business online that is also one of the world's top 10 domain registrars. That deal makes the Essential Email by Titan product available to  Squarespace customers for use on the desktop and mobile apps. Starting at $3 a month the service provides a secure professional email address on the customer's domain, as well as  inbox, calendar, and contact management.

The Squarespace deal, combined with the company's existing footprint, means that Titan will now reach 40% of all newly registered domains worldwide. Bhavin explained how Titan has gained such a huge market share. “Most email platforms were built for large enterprises, not small businesses, whereas Titan is built from the ground up for small businesses - a founder with an idea, and small teams getting started,” he said. Bhavin added "Titan is simple to use, affordable to keep, and made for how small businesses actually work. Millions of entrepreneurs already run their business email on Titan, and with Squarespace, we're bringing that to millions more as they start their businesses.” 

Squarespace President Kevin Doerr is equally enthused about the partnership, noting, "A professional email address is one of the first things that makes an idea feel real. With Essential Email by Titan, entrepreneurs can put their brand front and center from their very first email, right alongside everything they're already building with Squarespace."

Essential Email by Titan is now available to Squarespace customers in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, with a larger global rollout planned in the coming months.
