In our last post, we mentioned how Team XYZ was everywhere. Whether it’s on your TV, at SXSW in Austin, or in one of the biggest news publications in China, it was hard to miss us.
And to top it all off, did you know we were also at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro?
Representing Team XYZ, Canadian domain investor Ian Clark waived the .xyz flag after conquering Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest peak in Africa, standing at 5,895 meters above sea level – that’s 3.6 miles straight up into the air!) Despite having two metal knees, Ian embraced this challenge to raise money for Water School.
Water School is a non-profit organization that strives to provide simple, safe, strategic, and sustainable clean water solutions to the developing world. Ian’s goal was to raise $5000 (Canadian dollars) so 5 schools will have access to a sustainable clean water supply.
We were so inspired by Ian’s spirit that we donated to his cause, and in return, Ian hiked up Mount Kilimanjaro and proudly represented Team XYZ.
Check out photos and comments from his travel diary below!
A huge congratulation is in order for Ian and his team. And what’s even more amazing, is that he isn’t stopping here. In July, Ian is set to tackle another mountain, Mount Washington in New Hampshire.

What did you think, #GenXYZ? Keep your eyes and ears open for even more exciting news that’s coming your way soon!
Let’s hear it for the #XYZsquad! For the second year in a row, the purple people were a major hit with South By Southwest (aka SXSW) attendees. From Graffiti Park to Downtown Austin, the #XYZsquad parkoured across the city during one of the largest conferences that attracts 72,000+ attendees each year from all over the world.
Back-flipping, forward-flipping, photo-taking, and sticker-giving, they covered a lot of ground while explosively (and awesomely) spreading the message that .xyz is for every website, everywhere.
We have tons of footage that we can’t wait to share with you all. While we’re putting our final magical touches on the videos, here’s a sneak-peek at what went down on the streets of Austin:
