Description:
RedZee Search is the first search engine to provide visual search results. Other companies that came after us have gotten funding for this concept, ((URL removed), (URL removed), (URL removed), etc.), however we have bootstrapped ourselves up and have a different idea than our competition. They seek to add features to search, while we seek a streamlined simple affair, made simpler by the visual results vs. text based ones. We believe that the concept of visual results is a great one, evidenced by the tens of millions in funding that our competition has gotten, however, the idea behind search engines has not changed: easier and faster = better. (Also of note is that we were the first, and have a patent pending in AE status to back that claim up.) We currently are profitable, bringing in gross revenues of over 3 million per year, and have always been so because we have not relied on financing to guide our business. We are set up to burst at the next level.
