Local Search Startup Partners with Indiana University

Author: Jason Bean, Category: Business, Business Entrepreneurs, Colleges

ChaCha search, founded by local IT entrepreneur Scott Jones, partners with Indiana University in a new research alliance according to the IBJ.

ChaCha founder Scott Jones will join IU Vice President for Information Technology Brad Wheeler for a news conference at IUPUI.

Founded last year, ChaCha quickly raised $6 million from investors, including Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, Compaq Computer founding CEO Rod Canion, and Jack Gill, who co-founded Palo Alto, Calif. venture capital firm Vanguard Ventures.

I haven’t heard any details of this yet, the press conference is scheduled for later this afternoon from Indiana University’s campus in Bloomington.
