  Hello everyone, I'm Quentin, the CEO of Meilisearch. We are very proud to announce today our incredible fundraising. Over the last three years, we have succeeded in establishing ourselves as a serious competitor in the search industry. In just 3 years, we have managed to win over the hearts of developers by enabling them to create fast, relevant, and easy-to-implement search experiences in their applications.

  But this was only the beginning. Thanks to this new investment, we will continue to invest in open source and the community and start the next big phase of our company. Offering the same quality of research to companies on a completely different scale.

  We have a lot of ideas to make Meilisearch even more scalable and easier to integrate into the devs stack. Geo-replication, data sync with primary databases, search bar customizable in one line of javascript, and many more.

  Stay tuned for news. I will be happy to answer all your questions here.

  Thank you for Meilisearch. I've been using it for https://www.comparedial.com/ (phone contract comparison website) for over a year with great results. Well done on the funding.
