  • About Linkup
  • Our Vision
  • We believe in a future of AI agents and the agentic web . These digital entities can create more value for humanity than we ever could alone, but they depend on the internet to operate, collaborate, take action, and gather information.
  • AI agents need web search . To perform well, they require information that is current, reliable, and context‑specific-not the diffuse, steadily aging knowledge frozen at their last training cut‑off.
  • Web 2.0 is sunsetting . The deck is being reshuffled, and the Bing‑Google search oligopoly is crumbling. Indexing ever more pages is no longer the goal; semantically organizing facts for AI systems is. In the coming agentic web, Google's ad‑driven model has no natural home.
  • Humans search Google; AI searches Linkup.
  • Our Mission
  • Reality never stands still, and neither should intelligence. Linkup reconnects language models to a living stream of verified facts, ensuring AIs remain as current and insightful as the world they serve.
  • Our mission is to deliver the world's freshest, most trusted knowledge to AIs.
  • Our Culture
  • Our culture is built on the following values:
  • Mission . We believe we play a critical role in building the agentic web. We are 100% committed to our mission of bringing the reality of the world to AI agents.
  • Speed . We build fast, we build to last. We get things done, well.
  • Ownership . We empower every team member to take ownership of their projects, ensuring they see them through to successful completion.
  • Teamwork . Our strength lies in our unity. We rely on one another and embrace our diversity as a core asset.
  • Humility . We maintain low egos, showing respect for others and continuously learning from their insights and experiences.
  • We expect all team member to take an active role in shaping our company culture.
  • Our Team
  • We are small technical team, working shoulder to shoulder to build the web of agents.
  • A bit more about our 3 co-founders:
