Company Overview

SearchSpark will revolutionize search

We are a semantic search startup with a passion for organizing information to facilitate how people discover and filter information to make better decisions. The vertical categories we are targeting are the largest e-commerce categories and our complementary semantic search approach will assist both consumers find products that best meet their needs and branded and tail advertisers to market themselves more effectively. To achieve this, we are developing a tailored ontology for each category to enable us to extract and map the attributes of the products and a user experience to help us understand consumers’ meaning when they search for those products. Our first consumer application is delivering personalized travel search for family, romance, and pet-friendly travel; we welcome your feedback – you can sign up for our private beta at Kango.com.
