A Brief History of Yelp [Infographic]

Sitting in a Japanese restaurant near Palo Alto after a meeting, I couldn’t help notice they had the Yelp logo printed on the menu. ”Top 10 in Palo Alto,” it said under the big red logo. This was 3 years ago, and it was the moment I knew Yelp was growing at an astounding pace. That said, I also knew they’d have tons of competitors.

So how have they done so far? The folks over at Statista have put together a brief history of Yelp to help measure it out.
