Probably I didn't get the following idea across properly: this is not searching a company dataset. This is just like Google - as in it searches web pages, but with the added ability to filter by owning company industry, size, location, or later once we support it even stuff like tech stack used etc (in that regard it's somewhat adjacent to tools like Wappalyzer), or the HTTP headers present, or any kind of crazy stuff.
If that's still not unique enough (not sure TBH) I guess I should adjust the copy :)). I'm not great at writing copy.
Anyway this is still no a fully fleshed out idea, mostly just scratching my own itch and conquering the difficulties of storing billions of pages.
Thanks for the question and any feedback is appreciated.
- LaundroMat 3y agoCan you describe that itch?
- friendly_chap 3y agoBasically I have at my fingertips a lot of tech brainpower who can knock out products pretty quickly. Being techies our sales chops are subpar so I thought about owning the data myself and learning the ins and outs of sales through getting closer to the industry. At the same time this project forces me to handle data at scale (few terrabytes currently but I estimate we will need about 2 petabytes of storage realistically at minimum) and that comes handy for AI related projects. That's pretty much my personal motivation for this.
