Evri's topic-based approach to news aggregation is a divergence from the older source-based paradigm. When the user identifies a topic, Evri scours 15,000 web sources, plus social networks, to deliver editorial. There are millions of topic-based channels.
Evri's core technology platform relies on natural language processing and semantic search to deliver channels of aggregated content on millions of topics. It reconciles content against semi-structured and trend databases to determine result ranking.
Evri is funded by Vulcan Capital, the investment arm of Paul Allen's Vulcan Inc.
