Ingenio’s revolutionary idea for an e-commerce based knowledge exchange was formed in the back of a taxi cab and officially launched in 1999. Since then the platform has enabled over 30 million conversations from around the globe confirming Ingenio as the leader in phone, chat, and web–based personal advice.
Ingenio’s patented communication and e-commerce platform continues to evolve. Our innovative community-based tools, and proprietary web, voice, and mobile technologies help nurture valuable relationships between people for the exchange of information. Our platform supports marketplaces (Ingenio.com, Keen.com and Ether.com) connecting members in real-time (or through appointments), 24/7/365, to share and monetize information.
We remain dedicated to empowering lives through the discovery of answers, insights and new perspectives to life’s most pressing questions. We do this by continually redefining the way information can be conveniently and confidently exchanged.
Ingenio was founded in 1999, acquired by AT&T in 2007 and re-established as an independent company in May 2013. Ingenio is a profitable business comprised of a talented group of people led by world-class management team in San Francisco, CA.
