LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TickEx (), Britain's top new-generation vertical search engine, today announced the completion of its initial round of funding. The angel round of $1.5MM, led by Orange County-based investor Brinderson Holdings, was completed earlier this year. The TickEx site, which launched in Britain in the spring of 2007 and in the US in August 2007, allows users to use vertical search features to browse and compare tickets they find through artist, venue, cost, date and seat location. At present the site lists more than 15 million tickets in the US and Britain.

TickEx CEO Richard Robinson says, Search is one of the very few Internet categories that has lived up to the hype and has consistently produced successful companies even when the rest of the industry was heading south. While giants such as Yahoo! and Google have their place, the world of specialized vertical search is thriving thanks to consumer demand for relevance as they buy products and services online. This initial round of funding is important not only for TickEx, but also for other companies that are building their long-term success on the fundamental need for accurate, up-to-date information that general search engines were simply never built to provide.
