Mocavo Raises $1 Million To Build Its Ancestry-Centric Search Engine

Looking to fill in the blanks on your family tree? A startup called�Mocavo�might be just what you're looking for. The service is setting out to become a search engine that's highly optimized for ancestry-related purposes ? type in the name of a relative, and it'll do its best to surface content from the web's troves of�genealogy�data, some of which has been difficult to search through before now. The startup, which was part of the TechStars Boulder program this past summer, has just raised a $1 million round from David Cohen (through Bullet Time Ventures), Dave McClure (500 Startups), David Bonderman, Walt Winshall, David Calone, Dave Carlson, Troy Henikoff, and other angels. Founder Cliff Shaw says that Mocavo is setting out to make genealogy "open, social, and automated".
