Weinberg explained the name’s origins by referring to the children’s game duck, duck, goose. As a result, TechCrunch dubbed the service a “hybrid” search engine. DuckDuckGo is mostly based on search APIs from a variety of companies. It was initially self-funded by Weinberg until 2011, when it was “backed by Union Square Ventures and a handful of individual investors.” The search engine operates on nginx, FreeBSD, and Linux and is written in Perl. DuckDuckGo is funded through advertisements and affiliate networks. Weinberg is an entrepreneur who previously established Names Database, a now-defunct social network, in 2018.
