Startpage has been a profitable business since 2006. We make money with contextual ads (based solely on your search query) vs. other search engines that make money with behavioral ads (based on your personal profile and browsing history). These contextual ads appear on the top of each search results page. As a condition of the investment terms, this will always be our business model on search. The investment we received will be used to reach more users worldwide.
