Aardvark (www.vark.com) was founded in 2007 by top engineers and entrepreneurs from Google, Yahoo, and other major Valley tech companies. Their goal is to provide access to the knowledge, wisdom, and experience of your extended network in realtime. With Aardvark, there’s nothing to download or install: you just send Aardvark a question through a channel you already use (IM, email, Twitter, etc.) -- like you do when talking to a friend. Aardvark figures out who might be able to answer, and asks on your behalf, getting you answers from your network within minutes. We’ve been written about in The New York Times, BusinessWeek, Forbes, and Wired and continue to lead in the Social Search space. We are well funded by August Capital and are proud to have over a dozen well-known technology leaders as individual investors - including Marc Andreesen, Deep Nishar, Sean Fanning, Barney Pell, Jeff Hammerbacher and others.
