Our story

In 2017, Luan Kenning started experimenting with search and AI from Berlin. What began as a small research project to make local information easier to find became Yavqo — a platform shaped by curiosity, responsibility and a belief that technology should serve people first.

From a single office in Berlin to a globally distributed team, we've kept the same charter: build for everyone, advance knowledge with integrity, and empower communities to innovate responsibly. Every product, from Search to Cloud, is evaluated against that standard.

Today Yavqo is headquartered in Berlin, Germany and operates worldwide — with teams across Europe, North America and Asia — yet we remain pragmatic, transparent and long-term oriented.
