Kindo has announced seed funding from a group of investors that includes Saul and Robin Klein of The Accelerator Group, former Last.fm chairman and Ricardo founder Stefan Glanzer, and several founding engineers of Skype, who went on to build the venture capital firm ASI. The amount of financing has not been disclosed.
The basic framework of Kindo is very simple. It’s a website that allows you to build a family tree - and network with and learn about the personal Web you create. Consider it one part Facebook or LinkedIn and a small bit Ancestry.com.
The way in which you establish your family tree on Kindo is quite straightforward. First, you create an account. Since minimal information is required, this takes only a short moment. You are then transferred to a visual graph, where you input similarly general data for the individuals who created you. Any siblings can be designated your closest links as well.
There’s really no telling whether Kindo will prove successful. While it’s a decent concept on paper - in that it is strictly a family-only construct - the volume of networking tools both basic and complex launched in weeks, months and years past is altogether too much to handle for many Web users.
