Tako Seed Round

We started Tako because we believed search and storytelling would be a lot better if the world's authoritative data were instantaneously discoverable, visual, and shareable. We're thrilled to announce that we've raised $5.75M from Ramtin Naimi at Abstract, Kevin Hartz at A*, Stanley Druckenmiller, Guillermo Rauch and other tech and financial leaders who share our vision. Unlike traditional search engines, Tako supercharges deep research by delivering interactive, up-to-date and shareable knowledge cards sourced from trusted data providers. This approach is reshaping how knowledge workers interact with the information they rely on daily.

In a world devoid of nuance and awash with cheap conjecture, it's simply too difficult to discern and persuasively tell the truth. At Tako we're democratizing access to reliable, factual data. Tako's visual search engine, coupled with a commitment to using only the most authoritative data sources ensures that every piece of information presented through Tako is not only accurate but also highly actionable. By visualizing this data, we make it easier for users to quickly develop complex insights and share them quickly.

This funding milestone is a testament to the impact we've already made and the potential we have to further revolutionize the AI search and productivity landscape. We'll use this money to produce even richer, more powerful knowledge cards from an expanding corpus of reliable data. We'll expand our partnerships with industry leaders who share our vision of making truthful, authoritative data universally accessible.

We're also hiring, so if you're excited by this vision please reach out!
