Jeremy Stoppelman, co-founder and CEO of Yelp, discussed the company’s second-quarter 2026 results during an August earnings call, noting that net revenue reached $375.5 million and adjusted EBITDA totaled $91.4 million. He said Yelp is investing in Hatch, the company acquired in February, across go-to-market efforts and product engineering to scale the startup’s operations. Stoppelman also described an integration with OpenAI, saying Yelp ratings, review snippets, and a request-a-quote feature are beginning to appear in ChatGPT and link back to Yelp, though he characterized the rollout as early-stage. In July appearances on the podcast “How I Built This,” Stoppelman reflected on Yelp’s response to the pandemic, saying his leadership team anticipated a “nuclear winter” and had difficult conversations about potentially catastrophic revenue scenarios. He said Yelp brought back furloughed employees and added COVID-conscious features to listings as ad revenue recovered. He also addressed criticism of Yelp’s review system, stating that advertisers do not have the ability to delete negative reviews, and attributed part of his success to luck, estimating that circumstances played a 60 percent role in his career trajectory.
