Yelp connects people with great local businesses. With more than 265 million rich, local reviews contributed by our users, Yelp has become the leading platform for discovering and connecting with local businesses of all types - from restaurants and boutiques to salons, dentists, mechanics, and plumbers. Founded in 2004 by Jeremy Stoppelman and Russel Simmons, Yelp has grown into a trusted resource that brings word-of-mouth recommendations online, giving consumers a powerful voice and helping them make informed decisions about where to spend their money.
Operating as a remote-first company, Yelp is powered by a global community of collaborative people who share core values: be tenacious, play well with others, be unboring, protect the source, and authenticity. Our mission drives everything we do - creating meaningful connections between consumers and local businesses while maintaining consumer trust as our foundation. Through continuous innovation including AI-powered features and machine learning applications, Yelp continues to transform how people discover, connect, and transact with local businesses worldwide.
