Jeremy Stoppelman

Jeremy Stoppelman is the co-founder and CEO of Yelp, the local reviews platform he built after getting the flu in 2004 and being unable to find a doctor online. A PayPal Mafia veteran who rose to VP of Engineering before dropping out of Harvard Business School, Stoppelman turned a $1M seed check from Max Levchin into a public company with 308 million reviews and $1.4 billion in annual revenue. He has spent two decades fighting Google's search monopoly, championing remote work and YIMBY housing policy, and writing Yelp reviews under the username 'Big Papa.'
