When searching for anything related to startups, I often find a lot of unrelated content from blogs or low-quality websites that distract me from what I actually wanted to look for. Being fed up with Google, I started using this niche search engine https://you.com/for/startup that only shows information from a select number of apps and websites (TechCrunch, Crunchbase, AngelList) at once. It's pretty simple and clean.

Here are two example queries:

Earlybird VC: https://you.com/for/startup?q=Earlybird+VC

Simulate: https://you.com/for/startup?q=Simulate

Nice concept, but I don't get the execution in reality.

https://you.com/for/startup?q=Github&fromSearchBar=true

Somewhat nonsensical results.

Also, why does LinkedIn always come up first? When I think of high quality content, I don't think of LI.

Yeah I would agree with you that seems finicky. I think it works better for certain searches than others and is catered more to startup news than startup creation IMO

Agree that this is currently mainly just useful for news (and filtering out low-quality news sites) but it isn't quite there yet when it comes to researching start-up creation.
