Our Vision
Today, AI agents and tools (e.g. Perplexity, ChatGPT) are already going on the Internet to access information and digest it: to answer our questions, book hotel nights for us, etc... We believe that this is only the beginning and within 12 months, most of the web browsing will be done by AIs instead of humans.
To support this AI traffic, a new AI-first web browsing infrastructure needs to be built, different from what’s currently in place. It needs to be optimized for AIs, which have different needs than what humans have (e.g. they don’t care about pretty UI, prefer useful metadata). It needs to reward sources fairly, including humans who worked hard to create information in the first place.

Our Mission
At Linkup, our mission is to connect AIs to the internet. We build the infrastructure for AIs to access the world’s information efficiently, legally and at a fair price.
- For AI developers, we give them an AI-native access to the internet. It’s legal, 10-50x faster than scraping, more robust and at a fair price.
- For content creators and rights owners, we help them get compensated fairly for their work, when ads revenue is expected to decrease by 30% within 5 years.
What we are building
Linkup connects AIs to the internet
Linkup is a web browsing platform for AIs. This means we enable AIs to access content, search content and interact with it, all through our APIs.
- Access: AIs can use our Content APIs to get clean content from a webpage, at low latency and at a fair price to compensate the content owner, under clear licensing terms. It’s 10x faster than scraping, legal - content is licensed - and ethical - sources are compensated.
- Search: AIs use our Search APIs to find the sources they need on the internet. It’s tailored to AIs’ needs and fueled by our premium access to content, leading to best-in-class indexing.
- Interact: AIs can use our Interact APIs to understand what is going on on a webpage, and take the correct actions to use it. For example, your personal AI assistant can use these APIs to book a hotel night.
Our clients are AI applications, which need to access the web to work at full capacity. Our suppliers are owners of content, websites, or offline data.
Our Culture
Our culture is built on the following values:
- Mission. We believe our role in the expansion of AI is critical and we are committed to the success of our mission to connect AIs to the internet, fairly.
- Ownership. We empower every team member to take ownership of their projects, ensuring they see them through to successful completion.
- Teamwork. Our strength lies in our unity. We rely on one another and embrace our diversity as a core asset.
- Humility. We maintain low egos, showing respect for others and continuously learning from their insights and experiences.
- Speed. We build fast, we build to last. We get things done, well.
We expect all team member to take an active role in shaping our company culture.
