Neeva

Neeva was an internet search engine that emphasized protecting searchers' privacy. It utilized various APIs of other websites to show quick results to queries and for traditional links it used the help of its partners and its own crawler.

The company was based in Mountain View, California and had 25 employees as of June 19, 2020.

History
Neeva was founded in 2019 by Sridhar Ramaswamy and Vivek Raghunathan. Neeva had raised $77.5m from investors.

In 2023, the co-founders announced the shutdown of the search engine on June 2. According to them, the main reason for that decision was how hard it was to persuade normal users to make the switch. They thanked customers and announced that they would be compensating users for the unused portion of Neeva accounts and reallocating their tools and technologies to other industries.

In May 2023, Snowflake announced the acquisition of Neeva, for an undisclosed amount, to accelerate the search in the Cloud through Artificial Intelligence.
