Tako (AI Search Startup) Raises $5.75 Million in Seed Funding

Tako, an AI search engine designed to revolutionize how we visualize and share the world’s knowledge, has secured a cool $5.75 million in seed funding.

The round, led by notable investors like Kevin Hartz from A* and Ramtin Naimi of Abstract Ventures, brings together a dream team of tech visionaries, including some big names like Naval Ravikant and even football legend Joe Montana—because, apparently, winning Super Bowls wasn't enough for him!

Founded by former Amazon leader Alex Rosenberg and Bobby Abbott, Tako aims to give knowledge workers something a bit more exciting than your standard search results.

CEO says:

“We're making it easier than ever to access and share reliable information. We’ll use this funding to accelerate our plan to index all the world's authoritative data and push the boundaries of how factual information can be visualized and persuasively shared.”

With Tako, you’re not just getting ten blue links—you’re getting interactive, shareable knowledge cards, backed by data from the most reliable sources on the planet. It’s like giving your research a serious makeover.

Need to impress at the next big meeting?

Tako’s got your back with fancy visualizations.

The funding will allow Tako to expand partnerships, bring in some top-tier talent, and improve its platform to make it even easier to turn boring facts into visual storytelling.

Whether you're trying to track election trends or just looking for some good ol' fashioned up-to-date research, Tako promises to deliver authoritative data in a way that feels both innovative and, dare we say, fun.

Tako’s already making waves, having teamed up with Perplexity for advanced search tools and adding a tie-in with Polymarket to visualize dynamic data.

With big plans ahead, including a continued focus on indexing all the world’s factual knowledge, it looks like Tako is ready to push the boundaries of how we access and share information.

Watch out, blue links—your days might just be numbered!
