I just got an email saying that the team behind the service only has enough to run it for less than a month. Without enough funding, they’re going to shut down. Could you guys please spread the word? I would hate for something like this to disappear.

Interesting, they have a booth at CSUN AT41 this week. Booth 512

Is this definitely real? I've not got anything myself, although maybe they aren't sending it out to all customers.

I bought something from them over the weekend and noticed they now say they are a non-profit which I think is new.

I do wonder with all these AI-intensive things whether they have been properly funded, but I hope this isn't true as I would be upset to lose them.

Did the email suggest how people might help? Wonder if it's worth pasting the whole thing in here?

Forwarded to me by a member of our community:

Hello,

Thank you to everyone who has supported our transition to a non-profit. While the early response has been inspiring, we still face a critical funding gap.

Our current runway is now less than a month.

With heavy hearts, we recently had to let go of several team members and transition others to part-time due to budget constraints. Sadly, these painful cuts only bought us another month. If we do not meet our funding goals immediately, Innosearch will be forced to shut down.

For years, our founders personally covered the massive costs of serving 10,000 daily users. Their personal savings can no longer sustain this. We now rely on the community to keep this platform alive. If Innosearch helps you maintain your independence, please chip in today.

Thanks for posting this. I am really gutted to read this. To be honest I hadn't really realised this was a non-profit. I had presumed they were making money somehow - whether it be through affiliate links or whatever. I don't know how I feel about spending £20 a month to make a service that makes other people's inaccessible shopping sites accessible to me. If that's how it works long-term then I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the other hand, I wouldn't want this service to go away.

It's funny I've not really seen this mentioned anywhere else - maybe my head's been in the sand but would have thought there would be more noise. Maybe they don't want to advertise that they are in difficulty, but even so.
