“Algolia is on the leading edge of a huge market with our API-based Search-as-a-Service. Just think about the number of times per day you search for something, browse a website, or buy something online. All of these actions are powered by search capabilities, and Algolia is able to serve both large global brands and also individual developers building their own projects,” said Bernadette Nixon, CEO of Algolia. “As customers grapple with changes caused by COVID-19, one of the reasons they have turned to us is our speed, and I don’t just mean the lightning-fast speed at which we deliver relevant search results; but also the speed at which they can deliver a much-improved Search and Discovery experience to their own customers. This has been a key driver behind our strong first half, and we couldn’t have satisfied all this demand without our dedicated team of Algolians.”
