The Company

Founded in 2006, Lokku Limited build classifieds vertical search engines. We launched our first consumer brand, Nestoria later that year. Since then the company has continued to expand, developing new technologies and launching new brands in multiple countries.

Vertical Search

Vertical search can be contrasted with search technologies that most people are accustomed to. Google, Yahoo! and Bing search widely varying data on different topics, from a very wide range of sources. Vertical search engines such as those developed by Lokku enable the user to search deep within a specific set of data. Displaying this type of information to users in a useful, fast and yet comprehensive manner presents challenges that Lokku enjoys taking head-on.

The brands

Nestoria is Lokku's premium property search brand. Nestoria UK launched in 2006, followed by Nestoria España in 2007, Nestoria Italia and Nestoria Deutschland in 2008, Nestoria Australia in early 2010 and Nestoria France in the summer of 2010. Key to the Nestoria experience is our 'Nestoria Rank' technology.
Lokku Labs is the company's experimental platform. Here, innovative new technologies are tested before being rolled-out into Lokku products. Recent developments include full-text semantic search, as well as interesting area-comparison tools.

The Team

The team at Lokku is small and very data focused. Both founders, Javier Etxebeste and Ed Freyfogle are internet veterans, having previously worked in senior positions at Yahoo!. We are always on the lookout for bright and motivated people to join us. Please see our jobs page.
