Metaweb Technologies

Series B in 2008
Metaweb Technologies, Inc., based in San Francisco, is known for developing semantic data storage infrastructure for the web, particularly through its flagship product, Freebase. Founded in 2005 by Danny Hillis, Veda Hlubinka-Cook, and John Giannandrea as a spinoff of Applied Minds, the company operated in stealth mode until 2007 and was subsequently acquired by Google in 2010 to support its Knowledge Graph initiative. Freebase serves as a large, collaboratively edited database that organizes cross-linked data, enabling users to contribute, structure, search, and utilize information. Unlike traditional encyclopedias, Freebase operates more like an almanac, presenting data in a format that is accessible to both individuals and software applications, thereby fostering the development of the semantic web.
