Lilo is a web search engine (aggregator) funding social programmes and environmental protection projects[1] through advertisement-generated revenues.
Concept[edit]
For each Internet-search operated on Lilo, the search engine attributes one point (‘drop’) to a user. Once a significant number of drops are collected, the user distributes them to the project(s) of their choice published on the Internet site of Lilo. The drops consequently are converted into the financial equivalent payable to the project in question. The team pre-selects projects to be advertised on the site and usually publishes one new project per week.
Technology[edit]
Lilo is a metasearch engine meaning it uses other web search engines. The company generates revenues through reposting of advertisement content from Google, Bing and Yahoo!, although Lilo also works with clients directly. At the same time, the search engine does not collect users’ personal data and operates no advertisement tracking.
Creation[edit]
Founded in 2014, the start-up could start its activity thanks to the funds collected via crowdsourcing.
