Hakkında Spock

Şirket hakkında

Spock is a people search engine which collects data from all corners of the web with a heavy focus on areas with dense people information such as [wikipedia](http://crunchbase.com/organization/wikipedia), photo sites, blogs and social networks. Spock claims people search accounts for 30% of online search and thus they are directly taking on giants like Google and Amazon (product search). If the 30% is accurate then the market is ripe for identity searching companies to expand. Spock's closest competitors include [Copenda](http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/copenda),[PeekYou](http://www.crunchbase.com/organization/peekyou), ProfileLinker, [LinkedIn](http://crunchbase.com/organization/linkedin), and [Wink](http://crunchbase.com/organization/Wink) which has been around since 2005, yet only launched its people search engine in November 2006. Spock received $7 million in funding from Opus Capital and Clearstone Venture Partners.
