How Spock Gathers Information

Spock combines two very powerful forces. First, our technology organizes web content about people into easily understood search results. We search for information on biography pages, social networks, news sites, blogs, directories… pretty much every place imaginable on the internet. Second, the Spock community contributes information to help enhance the search experience. Spock users can add tags, pictures, and web links or simply vote on existing information to increase its relevance. By contributing information about people in your life you improve the search experience not only for yourself, but for everyone.

Who We Are

Spock was started by Jay and Jaideep in 2006. Since receiving funding from Clearstone Venture Partners and Opus Capital Ventures, the Spock Team has grown to include engineers and scientists from top schools such as Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, Caltech, Princeton, and Carnegie Mellon.

What People are Saying

Since Spock launched into private beta in April 2007, we’ve received industry acclaim and awards from respected technology luminaries. Spock was also selected as Best of Show at the prestigious Web 2.0 conference and as one of PC Magazine’s “Top 25 Websites to Watch” in 2007. Read more on our press page.
