CASE STUDY:
Search.io offered a search and discovery service with powerful AI engines, including Neuralsearch™, the world’s first instant AI search technology, and reinforcement learning for self-optimising results.
Businesses of all sizes were using Search.io (formerly Sajari) to build site search and discovery solutions that maximise e-commerce revenue, optimise on-site customer experience, and scale their online presence.
Search.io was serving billions of API requests every month on more than a thousand sites globally including BBC, Catch, Lockheed Martin, NSW Government, Rentpath, Sennheiser, Unity and many more.
Originally, Sajari came to Project F in 2021 to join the startup accreditation program and help set the foundations to create a diverse and inclusive company. They employed just 19 people at the time and made full use of the Project F Startup Toolkit.
The toolkit includes a significant range of foundational policies, plus templates, guides and tools that are critical for building a sustainably gender-balanced and equitable technology company.
Challenges
The team at Sajari used the accreditation to full effect. Project F amplified their efforts across their social channels, shining a light on the startup’s commitment to fostering gender diversity and inclusion. The foundational policies were embedded and the tools were used to achieve their planned goals. Then they rebranded to Search.io.
Search.io then achieved a successful acquisition by Algolia.

The Results
