Atomico-backed Silk launches smart search, data visualization tool in open beta

Silk, a Web app that lets users collect, sort and consume information in a structured way, is opening up to the world after attracting 10,000 users to its private beta.

Note: Silk is not to be confused with Amazon’s Silk, which is a mobile Web browser.

The Amsterdam startup behind the intelligent search and data visualization tool, which is backed by about $500,000 in seed funding from Atomico and others, won the startup competition at last year’s The Next Web Conference.

The platform lets users create ‘Silk sites’, introducing them to a new breed of online search and ways to visualize information and data.
