Intel and SAP Put $15 Million Into Enterprise-Search Company Endeca
Boston-based Endeca powers enterprise search for big companies including Borders, Boeing, the Census Bureau, the EPA, Ford, Hallmark, IBM, and Toshiba. The company specializes in guided search, auto-categorizing results based on the keywords someone enters. It is already a substantial company, with 500 employees and a $30 million quarterly revenue run-rate. It was founded in 1999. Update: The company says its full-year 2007 revenues were $108 million, compared to $69 million in 2006. It also says it broke even on profits last year. Endeca is still private, so these are unaudited numbers.
