Facebook Buys Chai Labs, a Semantic Search Startup Founded by a Former Adsense Leader
Facebook has bought bought semantic search startup Chai Labs, according to AllThingsD, which reports that the amount was “likely to be around $10 million and directed at acquiring talent,” although neither company has confirmed the deal.
Founded by former Google AdSense executive Gokul Rajaram — who we assume already knows at least some of the many ex-Googlers at Facebook — the company has raised $2.4 million, including from some very well-known Silicon Valley investors, including Facebook board member Marc Andreessen, Facebook stockholder Reid Hoffman and Google Ventures partner Joe Kraus.
