Faveeo starts public tests and crowdfunding campaign

Faveeo, a startup created this summer by two sociologists, an Ex-CERN and two EPFL software engineers, is launching a new "Information Discovery Engine", that speeds up online search by assisting users in the process of "searching, filtering and discovering" using an innovative and easy to use visual search tool.

Today, the team is inviting users to test-drive and support the development of it's new platform by contributing to it's crowdfunding campaign where users can get early-bird access to Faveeo, from as low as 20$ for a full year's access and 75$ for a special lifetime subscription that is reserved for the first 250 contributors.

In exchange for contributions, the team is offering great gifts, including original artwork, stylish cotton bags, stickers, and plant seeds, to illustrate the fact that by helping the company, users are planting a seed to something that will hopefully grow up and mature. Users can find all the details of the campaign and the Faveeo system on the website of the campaign.

With the help of an easy to use visual search interface, that suggests relevant concepts and keywords, users can now setup several "magazines", one per interest, that once created will monitor the web and social media in order to discover, filter and recommend the best content available for their query.

Advanced monitoring, filtering and discovery tool for the rest of us.

"We wanted to speed up content discovery for the general user, as we realized that when following a specific passion or interest, we were often doing the same searches over and over again to make sure not to missing anything. This is simply too time consuming." explains Alexis Dufresne.

Normally this type of advanced information discovery platforms is reserved for large corporations, but today Faveeo wants to change this and is inviting users worldwide to help them achieve this ambitious goal
