AMSTERDAM, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
VC Axivate Capital invests €350,000
to disrupt domain industry
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
€350,000 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."
