[Get started with Algolia for Shopify] [Algolia Demo] We're backing webpack and Open Collective We’re excited to [announce our sponsorship] of Open Collective and the webpack JavaScript module bundler. Open Collective helps connect open source projects like webpack with sustainable sources of funding, and has now passed over $100k in annual contributions. Through our sponsorship, we’re also making [DocSearch] available to any Open Collective project and providing direct access to our maintainers. You too can back open source, visit [opencollective.com] to learn how. How Algolia built a Culture-First Company around Ownership Our CEO & co-founder Nicolas Dessaigne wrote a piece about how the culture for Algolia began to take shape on day one. Our company culture defines much of how we operate - how we approach problems, how we motivate ourselves, how we measure success - and you can learn a little bit about how that culture was defined back when Nicolas & Julien were first founding Algolia.

[This is our third year attending] — we started in the START program in 2014, and moved up to the Alpha stage just last year — we raised $18.3M from Accel in between those two editions — and now this year we had our own stand as an official Partner of Web Summit — in fact, we’re powering search on their networking app, so every attendee, speaker & journalist had a taste of Algolia on that week! On November 16th, we gathered some of our closest community members at our Paris office. We exchanged ideas and best practices, discussed further implementations and hacks. We discovered so many possibilities to push the engine even further. Thanks to all our community for being that awesome!
