Delver Gains Further Funding For Social Search Engine
San Francisco-based Delver has raised $1.75M from Carmel Ventures as an add-on to its Series A funding. Carmel’s prior commitment was $2.25M. Delver launched in January its socially connected search engine, which uses public profiles from social networks to improve the relevancy of search results. More recently it launched a public version.
What you get then with Delver is search results aided by connections to friends that Deliver gets by looking at your LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. pages. One problem with this is that as people add hundreds of connections on their socnets, they often add people that they don't really know. We could see Delver becoming fairly popular among the teams of people who pack in Facebook every day.
Delver is led by CEO Liad Agmon who was in product management at McAfee.
