Seen

Organizing the next generation of content

Seen is a new way to organize the real-time web. We listen to and identify trending content on Twitter and Instagram to automatically surface and summarize stories as they break. Our SeenRank algorithm makes stories accessible by capturing the pulse of the crowd to revealing the best media. Think PageRank but for Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube and more. Seen's network includes the founder of the data team at Facebook, the creator of Oauth, the head of privacy at Google in New York, the co-founder of Vonage. Seen's investors are a who's who of innovative funders including investors in DeepMind, Waze, Dataminr, IFTT, Vine, Facebook, Spotify and Uber.

Team and Culture

We've been researching, developing and shipping location-based products for years. We strongly believe stories are meant to be visible and our goal is to transform how stories are told in real-time and remembered online. Tarikh and Mor, Seen's co-founders, met in '08 when Tarikh's company was hired by Yahoo! and worked with Mor's team to build a mobile/photo/geotagging product. Tarikh leads product, Mor leads science. We're working together because we have a shared passion in location based, data-driven media products. You can be great. We can be great together. Our product should be the reflection of a great team and a great process with a shared commitment to excellence.
