Our take
Google has maintained its status as a household name for online search engines since the '90s. Since then, however, it has become rife with sponsored advertisements, privacy issues, and one-size-fits-all search results, showing a vast area of space for improvement.
You.com provides a privacy-first personalized search engine, allowing users to integrate apps and personal preferences into the browser extension to optimize their search results based on what they are looking for. The search engine also guarantees that search history and cookies will not be logged by the company, in addition to preventing websites and advertisers from tracking browsing habits.
Whilst the company's competition from the likes of Google, Bing, Yahoo, and other search engine giants is fierce, You.com shows great potential having served 1B queries and boasting millions of active users. With a 500% increase in ARR since January 2024 and a recent $560M Series B Funding round, the company is rapidly scaling, becoming a rising player in the AI and search space.
