Taptu was another company founded by serial entrepreneur Steve Ives, and was based initially in a small and crowded office in St. John's Innovation Centre off Milton Road in Cambridge.

As it expanded, it moved across Milton Road onto Cambridge Science Park, into a building which it shared with online gaming company Jagex.

The company developed a mobile-focussed search engine, which meant not just being easy to use on a phone but where the results were specifically tailored for mobile use. For a while it was quite successful and won several awards, but ultimately could not compete against the elephant-in-the-room that was Google. 

The company switched focus to more of a newsfeed service after having shed many of its employees but folded a year or so later, with the remains being bought by Mediafed.
