Matt leaves shopping and gambling in search of True Knowledge

Matt Young has been appointed vice president of engineering by Internet search technology pioneers True Knowledge, based at St John’s Innovation Centre in Cambridge.

His role is to drive the development of the company’s ground-breaking ‘answer engine’ that has the potential to change the way factual information is made accessible via the Internet. Its product is capable of intelligently answering questions posed on any topic and dramatically improves the quality and accuracy of results compared to any search technology currently in existence.

Matt has already been at the forefront of some exciting online developments, including his most recent appointment as chief technical officer at MyFaveShop, a web start-up founded by Maurice Saatchi. MyFaveShop is a new concept in online shopping based on innovative technology – it builds on the popularity of ‘social networking’ to create a virtual shopping mall of hundreds of retailers and brands chosen by the shoppers themselves.

Before this he was a distributed development director at Betfair, the world's leading online betting exchange. Driven by its own cutting-edge technology, Betfair enables punters to choose their own odds and bet against each other, even after an event has started. Betfair now processes 5 million transactions a day and more than 300 bets a second and has a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.

Matt, a Cambridge University mathematics graduate, was attracted to the challenge of building the next generation of Internet search technology:

“True Knowledge’s unique technology and approach are already achieving results that have eluded larger companies. It offers some really exciting technical challenges to get your teeth into.

“I am looking forward to growing the team and scaling the platform to deal with potentially immense quantities of traffic,” he says.
