Quixey
Quixey is a company located in Mountain View, California that calls itself "The Search Engine For Apps." Users can search for an app on Quixey by describing in natural language what they want to do. The company invented a new type of search, "Functional Search," that gathers app information from review sites, blogs, social media sites, and additional sources. The technology allows users to search across multiple platforms, eliminating the need for multiple searches using different mobile devices.
== History ==
Quixey was co-founded in 2009 by CEO Tomer Kagan and CTO Liron Shapira. The company spent a year and a half building Functional Search before it launched in private beta on April 7, 2011. At the same time as its private launch, Quixey announced its $400,000 seed round funding, led by Eric Schmidt’s Innovation Endeavors.〔http://techcrunch.com/2011/04/07/quixey-raises-400k-from-eric-schmidt%E2%80%99s-innovation-endeavors-for-app-search/〕 On May 23, 2011, the company officially launched at TechCrunch Disrupt New York, opening its website to the public. In August 2011, the company closed its Series A round of funding, led by U.S. Venture Partners and WI Harper Group, with participation from Webb Investment Network and Innovation Endeavors.〔http://venturebeat.com/2011/08/29/quixey-funding/〕 The company continued to provide a web version of Functional Search, but emphasized offering its technology to carriers, app stores, and handset makers.
Between August 2011 and June 2012, when Quixey announced its Series B round of $20 million, the company grew from six employees to 30. The Series B round, announced June 7, 2012, included previous investors WI Harper Group, U.S. Venture Partners, and Innovation Endeavors, as well as new investors Atlantic Bridge, SK Planet, and Translink Capital.
On December 4, 2012, Quixey announced its first major partnership with a federated search engine, Ask.com.〔http://bigstory.ap.org/article/askcom-adds-mobile-apps-its-search-results〕 A month later, the company stated that it was powering nearly 100 million queries per month and had grown to over 50 employees. On June 27, 2013, the company announced its Sponsored Apps program, an app advertising product and Quixey's first step toward monetization.
