What does IO stand for in business?

You may notice that a lot of tech startups and SaaS companies use the . io domain extension (E.g. Greenhouse.io, Material.io, Keywordtool.io, and Spring.io), and there’s a good reason for it. It’s similar to the abbreviation I/O, which means input/output, a common term when discussing computing processes.
