Kinnek was a B2B purchasing marketplace that helped small and mid-sized businesses buy from suppliers. Buyers could describe what they needed, collect competitive quotes from vetted suppliers, read unbiased reviews, and get expert purchasing advice in one place, under the tagline "Purchasing Made Painless." The company operated at kinnek.com but is no longer active: the domain no longer resolves (no DNS A, MX, NS, or SOA records) and the site survives only via the Internet Archive (strongest snapshot circa 2017). It was added to the API Evangelist network as a venture-portfolio lead (backed by 500 Global and Version One Ventures); the enrichment pass found no public API, developer portal, documentation, or machine-readable specifications for this provider.
