CEO Reza Sardeha beschrijft de nieuwe koers van Undeveloped als volgt:
“…Over 50 million unused domain names are now searchable and accessible to buyers making it easy to connect with domain owners, start a conversation and close transactions safely and securely…”
“…Now, the motivation behind this move is to provide access to literrally anyone around the globe to all unused names…”
…Een nadere uitleg over Undeveloped en waar we in de aankomende tijd naartoe gaan. Met de initiële investering van Axivate zijn we ons team aan het uitbreiden om meer tijd en resources te investeren in onze productontwikkeling.
Nederland is en blijft de thuismarkt waar onze focus naar uitgaat gezien hier onze basis ligt. We zullen daarom ook vanaf nu een internationale uitstraling vertegenwoordigen gecombineerd met een sterke lokale touch…
In basis komt het er op neer dat geparkeerde en niet-ontwikkelde domeinen automatisch in kaart worden gebracht en kopers/verkopers met elkaar in contact worden gebracht. Inmiddels redirect Undeveloped.nl ook naar undeveloped.com
Het gehele persbericht:
Undeveloped, the domain marketplace, today announced to have crawled and indexed over 50 million registered but unused domain names. With over 288 million registered domains finally everyone has access to these “hidden” domains. Undeveloped is changing the domain industry by making the buying and selling of domains transparent, easy to use and secure.
Before today, unused domain names were scattered across the web, making finding the right name both time-consuming and frustrating. With Undeveloped’s new service, over 50 million unused domain names are now searchable and accessible to buyers making it easy to connect with domain owners, start a conversation and close transactions safely and securely.
For domain sellers, Undeveloped provides an easier way to put domains in front of a prospective audience. “We instantly set up this beautiful for sale page for you on your own domain name that starts organically attracting domain buyers for you,” said Reza Sardeha, Undeveloped’s co-founder and CEO. Besides that it just takes a couple of clicks to start selling your domains on Undeveloped as they provide easy-to-use portfolio management and negotiation platform facilitating domain sales.
“We were driven by our own experiences trying to buy and sell domain names, to make the process less convoluted,” said Reza Sardeha.
“How many times have you wanted to buy a domain only to find the page covered in ads and no idea who the owner is? Our goal is to bring transparency to the process and the index is the first step to identifying what’s available in the marketplace.”
Today Undeveloped also announces having secured a seed round of EUR350,000 from Axivate Capital.
“It’s clear the domain industry is just waiting to be disrupted,” said Axivate’s Bas Rasker. “We believe Undeveloped, with their team and track record, are moving in the right direction to upend this difficult-to-navigate industry.”
