Linkup is developing its own web index and search engine engineered specifically for how AI systems search, process, and understand information, rather than for traditional human browsing. By surfacing fresh, accurate, and factual data with minimal latency, the platform aims to become a foundational layer for AI applications that rely on real-time web knowledge. The company’s approach addresses the inefficiencies encountered when large-scale AI agents interact with the conventional human-oriented web. Linkup’s roadmap includes scaling its crawling and indexing capabilities and recruiting across New York, San Francisco, and Paris to accelerate product development. Founded by Philippe, Denis, and Boris, the team positions its technology as an essential building block within the broader AI ecosystem. Financially, the startup is backed by a $10 million seed round, which will fund hiring and infrastructure expansion. No revenue or user metrics have been disclosed to date.
