I just came across a news that mentioned Sunnyvale-based Minekey has raised $3 million in a round A financing that led by NEA IndoUS Ventures. Minekey is a startup that founded in year 2005 and have offices in Santa Clara and Bangalore. They have a simple goal in mind, to solve the information overload an average Internet user face today. However, the widget Minekey that target contents/news to Internet users’ interests is by tracking the users’ click stream data. Normally, the technology for tracking click stream data began with cookies. Minekey collected the visit information through all these click stream data and then analyzed those data in order that they know what contents should have delivered.
Minekey was founded by Delip Andra as a project incubated at IIT Kharagpur, India’s leading technology institute. Previously, it received a seed funding amounted to $600k also from the venture capitalist NEA IndoUS Ventures.
