Vurb - San Francisco, CA - <a href="http://vurb.com" >
We won TechCrunch Disrupt NYC - <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/05/vurb/" >
Vurb is working on reinventing search, browsing, and sharing - by creating an intelligent layer over the Internet that helps you get things done in one place. Rather than opening lots of windows/tabs or hopping from mobile app to mobile app, we're building a platform that brings everything together.
We do this by connecting the services we use in a contextual way, through data technologies (search, machine learning, big data, etc.) and original thinking around UI/UX.
We're very well funded - Max Levchin, Drew Houston (Dropbox), Naval Ravikant (AngelList), CrunchFund, and many others. This is a hard problem, but it has the potential to change the behavior of how we do things on the Internet (and make it fun!)
