No, actually the standard approval system for the majority of .com start-ups
is as follows:
1) Someone mentions an idea in the pub at lunchtime.
2) If more than two people present say "that's a great idea" then they get
funding (for the next round, anyway).
3) Everybody rushes back to the office (read: basement) to secure a domain
name.
4) Ultimately they will fail to find a suitable .com name for their
application, but while they are looking someone comes up with a 'winning'
name that has no connection to the original idea. The name is purchased.
5) A new plan/idea is conceived around this new domain name and again
funding is secured - this time for pizza.
