Mangrove Capital Partners backs Quintura, a top 10 alternative to Google

June 19, 2007 - Quintura (www.quintura.com), a visual-based search engine for web discovery and browsing of any web content, today announced that it has raised several million US dollars in Series A funding from Mangrove Capital Partners.

"Since our first meeting in spring 2006, we have really enjoyed working with the team of Mangrove Capital on our challenge to beat Google. We came to a mutual decision on raising new funding entirely from Mangrove." said Yakov Sadchikov, co-founder and CEO of Quintura. "We plan to use the capital to scale the Quintura affiliate model for site search and build a semantic web index using our neural networking techniques."

Quintura strives to bring web users a new search experience that is visual and more intuitive. Quintura displays an interactive search cloud of related keywords and phrases to easily refine and narrow down searches. Quintura is the first company to embed graphical icons in the search cloud. Quintura plans to start selling graphical advertisements such as images, logos, and icons within the Quintura search cloud.

Quintura will shortly offer an affiliate model for web-sites and blogs to replace a site map with a Quintura interactive cloud for site search and navigation. The web-site publisher can index the site content and display the Quintura cloud on its site. The affiliate model will be either free/ads-supported or subscription-based.

Quintura has a version for kids - Quintura Kids at www.kids.quintura.com that features a kids-specific search cloud for easy and safe navigation through kids-related web links.
