That's funny:

Their slogan:

>try Neeva, 100% ad-free search engine, Totally private

Their founders:

>Neeva was founded by Sridhar Ramaswamy (ex-SVP of Ads at Google) and Vivek Raghunathan (ex-VP of Monetization at YouTube). They met in the early days of search ads at Google, and came up with the idea for Neeva over hikes and coffee.

They have founded a company that explicitly doesn't need the knowledge that they had acquired in their job.

Yep! It is ironic but also makes sense in my opinion. I know more about why the things I'm an expert in are bad than most people do. That doesn't necessarily mean I know how to fix the issues though, but at least I have a good sense of the problems, which is a start.
