Mahalo

Series B in 2007
Mahalo is a human-powered search engine founded by entrepreneur Jason Calacanis. It differentiates itself by generating search results through a team of profile builders who create detailed pages for approximately 10,000 unique queries, with plans to expand to 25,000 queries. The search results are non-algorithmic, resulting in deep and useful content, although the process is slower than automated engines. For queries without a dedicated page, Mahalo supplements results with information from Google. The layout combines elements of traditional search engines and Wikipedia, with factual information provided alongside categorized links. Users can submit their own links for consideration, which are voted on before publication. Despite its slow growth due to the manual curation process, Mahalo functions without revenue for several years, positioning itself as an alternative to major search engines and knowledge-sharing platforms.
