TheFind.com is a discovery shopping
search Engine targeting lifestyle product such as apparel, accessories, home,
and garden, fitness, kids and family and beauty. It was founded in 2006 as
FatLens Inc., initially specializing in event tickets search but later
expanding to product search. The site was re-launched as TheFind.com with an
emphasis on discovery shopping search or lifestyle products.
TheFind is the only way to search
the entire shoppable web. Its proprietary search engine lets you type in
something you are looking to purchase like a white dress, or a specific type of
chair, and it will return results from online retailers such as Target, Nordstrom,
Zappos, Amazon, Etsy, eBay and more. If consumers want to search locally,
TheFind can return results within their geographic activity.
Consumers can easily compare prices
between different retailers and save themselves time by not having to scour
each individual site. TheFind search engine will shut down as the company
merges with its new owner. This service is used by more than 15 Million
shoppers. Just last month, Facebook launched a special ad unit designed to
highlight specific products a merchant is trying to sell. TheFind could help Facebook
better match not just a company to a user, but make sure the products shown in
the ads are things they are likely to buy.
TheFind.com is a privately held
company in California, and received funding from Redpoint Ventures, Lightspeed
venture partners, and Cambrian Ventures. In 2007, they received an additional
$15 Million funding led by Bain Capital Ventures.
