About Masterseek.com
Masterseek operated as a B2B search engine and online directory, founded in 1999 by Rasmus Refer, who served as the company's President. The platform was established to facilitate connections between international buyers and suppliers.
The core of the business was a comprehensive database of company profiles, which included contact details and descriptions of products and services. Masterseek developed a proprietary ranking system called 'MasterRank' to organize corporate websites within its directory. The company's business model appeared to have multiple facets, including offering tools for targeted text advertising on its platform. A significant development occurred in 2009 when Masterseek introduced a feature allowing users to perform detailed searches and download company information in formats such as CSV and Excel. This service was positioned as a tool for sales and marketing professionals, enabling them to build prospect lists based on precise search criteria.
The company was headquartered in Carson City, Nevada, and also had a legal entity registered in Denmark. In November 2008, Masterseek engaged in a merger/acquisition with Accoona. The company has been described as a deadpooled entity, indicating it is no longer in operation.
