Graphiq (formerly FindTheBest) is an engine-styled website that collects, structures, and connects data.〔 Its intent is similar to Wolfram Alpha, because, like Wolfram Alpha, it is designed to provide users with direct information on a variety of subjects rather than going through a search engine. Graphiq.com allows users to look at and compare data on approximately 2,000 topics. The data from Graphiq is mined from a variety of sources and presents them to users in a visual table with filters and ratings. Graphiq is based in Santa Barbara, California and has raised approximately $17 million in total funding from venture funding companies by 2013.〔〔 〕 ==History== The company was founded in 2009 as FindTheBest by Kevin J. O'Connor, former CEO and co-founder of DoubleClick; Scott Leonard and Brayton Johnson. The site was publicly launched in 2010 with nine comparison categories, including health, education, business, and sports. The venture was funded with an initial investment of $750,000 each from the founders, followed by $2 million by Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers in December 2010.〔 FindTheBest.com has since expanded to over 700 comparisons in the nine categories.〔 In 2011, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers invested an additional $4 million into the company.〔 FindTheBest also added another $11 million in Series B funding from New World Ventures, Montgomery & Co., Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, and others. In May 2014, FindTheBest had reached 23 million visits per month and employed a team of approximately 110 people.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://venturebeat.com/2013/06/18/findthecompany-releases-data-on-30m-businesses-to-clue-in-consumers/ )〕 The company has continually added new services.
