The company has said it has already begun the process, having indexed 100 million people and adding a further million names a day in the beta invitation-only version of its site which is due to be launched into the public domain later this month.
Co-founder of Spock.com Jay Bhatti told AFP reporters: "We are a search engine organising information about people.
"How Google allows you to type anything and gives you a web document result, we give you results around people. That's how we differentiate ourselves from other search applications, because we are solely focused on people."
In order to build its people index, the site searches through social networking websites, such as Facebook, as well as allowing internet users to add their own information about individuals.
Members will be able to add keywords and upload pictures of people in order to compile fuller profiles.
According to Mr Bhatti, the website will have a system in place to filter out false information concerning individuals that could serve to tarnish its credibility.
Each user will have an "authority ranking" that can go down if the information they provide for a person's profile is not accepted. If enough people pull down information they have posted eventually they could be deleted from the site.
Spock.com is a people specific search engine which aims to assist its users in finding people across the world.
