There are loads of companies having a trademark with Vanta in it and a lot of companies are also called Vanta "something". But they are in different sectors. Myself I think of the Finnish airport (Vantaa).

I'm surprised that the Chicago equity firm didn't have vanta.com registered (they're on https://vantaglobal.com).

You weren't even the first to have Vanta registered in your sector. Nvidia has that registered at one point but didn't use the name and it became "dead".

All I'm saying really is that maybe you should look at yourself before you ask someone else to change their project's name.

Could you please clarify if you think this Github project is in the security/compliance space?

I thought Vanta was an acronym for vertically aligned nanotube array?

Call it whatever you want, just please ensure that 'to the best of your knowledge, information, and belief this product will not make it’s way into that hands of Anish Kapoor.'

Yup. OP, just capitalize to VANTA then.

Was going to post about your company compliance space (which we use and love). That naming conflict is rough and it's the first thing I had in mind.

Classic. Not even 30 minutes after the post someone comes in and low-key threatens your toy project :-D
