Hi guys,
Confirming the news here and happy to answer questions on NamePros.
As for the news release, suffice it to say that synchronizing the press releases across the 2 continents is a bit of a project. So, the Dutch PR was visible before the US PR. Domainers are of course real-time so the Dutch news became global news within about 5 minutes.
As for the news itself, obviously we are all very excited about the addition of Undeveloped to the Epik family. It represents a big step forward on several fronts:
1.
Leadership: People know that I run a tight ship at Epik. Undeveloped brings several additional world class entrepreneurial leaders, starting with Reza.
2.
Technology: Undeveloped has a modern user interface built in the latest technologies, running in the Amazon AWS cloud. Their auction system is outstanding, and their marketplace is a good as any other.
3.
Locality: From Amsterdam, we will be able to better serve the other half of the world in a lot more languages with better time zone coverage with talented, tech-savvy people.
In the upcoming weeks, you will begin to see the evidence of accelerated pace of innovation as Epik positions itself as a world contender through a combination of organic development, strategic partnerships and acquisitions.
