Story

Gabriel Weinberg named a company after a children’s game and aimed it at a grown-up problem: search that does not build a dossier. Paoli, Pennsylvania, not Silicon Valley, is headquarters.

The product is stubbornly simple. In a decade of surveillance advertising he proved a smaller engine could live on trust — and that a founder could stay private while preaching privacy.
