NetMind Technologies was an Internet software company founded in February 1996 by Matt Freivald, Mark Richards and Alan Noble.
NetMind started at the Tech Farm Ventures incubator in Sunnyvale and then rapidly expanded into a headquarters in Campbell and an engineering office in Santa Cruz, California, growing to 60 employees.
NetMind was the first company to develop so-called persistent search for automatically notifying users of changed search results, a capability developed only much later in products such as Google Alerts.
NetMind's popular "Mind-it" change detection and notification service amassed over 6 million users in less than 4 years.
In May 1999, NetMind was named one of Upside Magazine's Hot 100 industry startups.
