Siri Ex-Product Lead Who Quietly Sold His Startup's Assets To Apple Raises $1M For Unsilo, A Semantic Search Engine
Apple's acquisition of Siri in 2010 gave the company the technology it needed to build a voice-activated personal assistant for its iPhone and iPad devices. A year later, Mads Rydahl -- one of the first employees at Siri as its director of product design -- sold something else to Apple: a set of patents, nine in all, from a startup he founded before joining Siri. (Considering how closely the media monitors Apple news, that acquisition hasn't been reported until now.) Today, Rydahl is working on a new startup: a semantic search engine called Unsilo, which is now preparing for a launch in November backed with $1 million from Danish incubator Oei and Scale Capital, a small VC firm co-headquartered in the U.S. (Palo Alto) and Denmark.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/erWxtUxB0xE/
