Internet users now have the opportunity to select .CV as a top-level domain (TLD) for their profiles and personal brands. The .CV domain, an acronym for curriculum vitae (course of one’s life), is a universally recognized term for resumes and professional summaries globally.
Global Availability and Partnerships
The .CV domain has been made available worldwide through a strategic partnership between OlaCV, a US-based company, and ARME, the Cape Verde domain regulator. This initiative allows users to register .CV domains through leading registrars and platforms.
Market Potential and Vision
Ope Awoyemi, President of OlaCV, emphasized the vast potential of the .CV domain. “CV is a term used by professionals in Canada, Europe, Africa, India, and China. Combined, these markets encompass professional workforces and populations nearing 3.5 billion people, representing a significant addressable market,” Awoyemi stated.The .CV domain aims to foster an ecosystem centered around digital identity, profiles, and credentials. Awoyemi, a serial entrepreneur who founded Jobberman and Whogohost and held leadership roles at Indeed, envisions the .CV domain as more than just a web address. It is intended to be a cornerstone for professional branding and digital identity.
Inspiration from Other Successful TLDs
The move to globalize the .CV domain follows the successful adoption of other country-specific TLDs, such as Tuvalu’s .TV domain and Anguilla’s .AI domain. These domains have become valuable assets, significantly contributing to their respective economies through registration fees.
Backing and Availability
OlaCV is supported by Fast Forward Venture Studio, where Ope Awoyemi serves as a General Partner. The .CV domains are now available for purchase on various registrar platforms, providing a new avenue for professionals to enhance their online presence and digital identity.
