Big congratulations! I'm an extremely happy user and can't even think about ever going back to Google. The results I get from Kagi are much higher quality (even though they use Google and Bing under the hood iirc) and I hope they will be able to rely much more on their own crawler in the future.

For anyone who hasn't tried it: give it a try. For me, not having so much Blogspam and content farms in the results is just amazing.

No affiliation, just a happy customer.

I recently re-subbed after I noticed that they increased their monthly cap for searches.

An investment round is interesting—on the one hand, it will keep them afloat, while on the other hand it means that the investors want to see returns one day and this money has to come from somewhere.
