Despite his wife's impression that was not at all supportive, Weinberg continued developing his idea. Thinking of a startup that is willing to grow by taking on the 'big boys' like Google in the search industry, is like a raft taking on a cruise ship as an option for vacation. 'She was like, 'What are you doing?’'' Weinberg said.

When he asked his wife for her opinion, she thought that he was nuts. The idea was to create a search engine that may pit against the more mature, bigger, more powerful, more sophisticated and more advanced search engines like Google and Bing. With the money he has saved, Gabriel Weinberg started thinking about founding another company while his wife worked and he captained the house.

'I started all of these projects independently and none of them really took off,' said Weinberg. Across multiple projects, he focused on structured data, Quora-style Q&A, and programmatically combating spam. Weinberg took his time off work and tried exploring several new ideas. The acquisition has made the just-married Weinberg, a millionaire in his 20s. The company was acquired by United Online for approximately $10 million in cash in March that year. The Names Database had 50,000 pay subscribers and was expected to generate less than a million dollars income in 2006. It was a company that servers database to users where they could submit their email addresses and other people pay to get in touch with them. His failure has taught him lessons to not fail when he started his next company while in Boston after graduating: The Names Database. Gabriel Weinberg started his first company at MIT: a portal where teachers can put lesson plans online. As one thing led to another, he eventually returned to his old hobby: programming. When he graduated high school, Weinberg took Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology but didn't want to pursue it in graduate school. Weinberg that played soccer and tennis as his favorite sports, spent a lot of time messing with his computers in his spare times. In his middle and high school years, Weinberg excelled in science classes, especially Physics. His first job was building his mother a program to process orders on the internet. Weinberg was interested in computers and programming since he was young, and because of that, he taught himself to be a child hacker. His father is a physician and infectious-disease specialist, and his mother makes art and clothes. Gabriel Weinberg was born in 1979 in the District, and grew up in Atlanta, the capital of and the most populous city in the U.S.
