Popego is an Internet company building AI technology and innovative interfaces to create a more personal and meaningful web.
We envisioned a new dimension emerging over the social graph: Interests; and we set out to build a product capable of exploring this new dimension, modeling interests and synthesizing interest profiles for internet users based on all their online activity, extracting semantic information from their online content and connections.
Based on these interest models, we let our users filter the web to get those gems that are meaningful to them. Besides interesting recommendations, our users can also share their interest profiles to show the world what they like and find people with matching interests.
The company was seed funded with USD 250,000 by friends and family, including two very successful entrepreneurs (Wenceslao Casares and Esteban Sosnik), and Aconcagua Ventures, an early stage venture capital firm and incubator where the company operates.
